Biography
Dr. Abioye was trained as a Pharmacist (B.Pharm. degree) in Nigeria. He is a registered pharmacist with the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC) United Kingdom, a member of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society (RPharmS) and Great Britain Academy of Pharmaceutical Sciences (APSGB). He is also a member of the American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists (AAPS), American Society for Microbiology (ASM) and American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy (AACP) in the United States. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry (FRSC) and Higher Education Academy (FHEA).
Dr. Abioye joined the Faculty at Belmont University on August 1, 2022 as Associate Professor of Pharmaceutical Sciences. His teaching activities include pharmaceutics, dosage form design, drug delivery systems, pharmaceutical calculations and advanced extemporaneous sterile and non-sterile compounding.
Before joining Belmont University, Dr. Abioye has taught physical pharmaceutics, clinical pharmaceutics, biopharmaceutics, fundamentals of medicine design, pharmaceutical biotechnology, pharmaceutical microbiology, pharmaceutical calculations, drug delivery systems, extemporaneous compounding of sterile and non-sterile dosage forms etc. within the pharmacy education curriculum (B.Sc., B.Pharm., M.Pharm., M.Sc. and Ph.D. programs) for over 25 years across several countries including Nigeria, Malawi, China, United Kingdom and United States. He moved to Belmont University from the Gregory School of Pharmacy, Palm Beach Atlantic University, West Palm Beach Florida where he was an Associate Professor of Pharmaceutical Sciences for over four years.
Dr. Abioye has held leadership positions within the Schools of Pharmacy including Sub Dean, Deputy Programme Leader, Module Leader, Admission Tutor, Chair of several Committees, Coordinator of Continuing Professional Development for Pharmacists, member of several Management Boards etc.
His main teaching priorities include students’ academic success and distinctive professionalism through structured integrated learning activities, research-informed scholarship of teaching, cooperative learning, personal tutoring, personal development planning, professional mentoring and science-practice integration.
Dr. Abioye’s broad research focus includes development of smart drug delivery and targeting systems with age-appropriate and flexible dosing especially for poorly soluble drugs, personalized nanomedicines and taste masking of ‘bitter’ drugs. His specific research expertise includes rational formulation design for brain delivery, quality-driven process optimization and precision-driven targeted delivery techniques to facilitate fortification and repurposing of ‘failing drugs’ including antibiotics, anticancer drugs, narcotics, antipsychotic agents, NSAIDs etc. He is also interested in clinical evaluation of the molecular basis of disease pathogenesis, antimicrobial resistance and therapeutic failure of medicinal products used in life threatening diseases and proffering possible solution models through rational formulation design and operational research.
Dr. Abioye has successfully supervised many postgraduate research students to completion including MSc., MPharm. and Ph.D. degrees, both in Nigeria and the United Kingdom. He is a recognized expert reviewer for several international journals as well as internal and external examiners for undergraduate and postgraduate pharmacy programs. He has authored over 50 quality research articles in reputable international journals with high impact factors and numerous oral and abstract presentations at international conferences.
Dr. Abioye is a man of faith, committed to leading a Christian life based on the Word of God. He looks forward to continuing to serve the Lord, and our precious students here at Belmont University.
