Oyelola is a chartered biostatistician, an experienced teacher and public health researcher. He completed his PhD at the University of Western Cape, South Africa, where he developed a new approach to modelling nested correlation due to anisotropy issues in spatial data (Malaria). He also completed a master degree in biostatistics at Interuniversity Institute for Biostatistics and statistical Bioinformatics, Hasselt University, Belgium.
Oyelola’s research interests are in spatial epidemiology, environmental statistics, exposure science, disease mapping and mixed-model with applications in biomedical sciences and public health studies. Oyelola’s work centred on developing and integrating innovative statistical approaches to advance public health and healthcare studies that focus on exploring spatial and Spatio-temporal variations in infectious and non-infectious diseases and examines the effect of climate on health outcomes. His methodological research interests fall in the area of correlation/covariance structure in public health and ecological data.
His previous experience includes statistics lecturer at the American University of Nigeria, American University of Afghanistan and Qatar University. Prior to joining Public Health and Tropical Medicine, Oyelola was a clinical research biostatistician (infectious disease) at JCU’s Australian Institute of Tropical Health and Medicine.
He is well-published in a wide range of multidisciplinary peer-reviewed journals such as Statistical Methods in Medical Research, Journal of the Royal Statistical Society and Science of Total Environment. His publication titled” Analysis of spatial data with a nested correlation structure” was one of the top 20 most-read articles in 2017/2018 in the Journal of the Royal Statistical Society, Series C.
Oyelola is an associate editor of BMC Public Health (Global Health), Therapeutic Advances in Infectious Disease, PLOS ONE, Scientific African and Scientific Reportsand a reviewer for many journals (See Publon). He is currently serving as an Early Career Researcher Initiative (ECRI) Advisory Panel member for the high-ranking Environmental Health Perspective journal. A fellow of the institute of management consultants.

- Summary
- The international community has pledged through the Sustainable Development Goals to eliminate neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) by 2030. NTDs are distributed in several regions in the world, including Oceania and The Americas, and are estimated to affect close to 2 billion people. Guatemala and Queensland, Australia share similar ecological and tropical environments that enhances their susceptibility to epidemics caused by NTDs, particularly considering the effect of climate change. The Universidad del Valle de Guatemala (UVG) and James Cook University (JCU) will conduct a project to build NTDs data analysis capacity and support the efforts of early and middle career researchers to conduct collaborative research in Australia and Guatemala. The project consists of a mixture of online workshops and online research meetings.
