Abiola Ibraheem, MD, is Assistant Professor of Medicine in the Division of Hematology and Oncology at the University of Illinois College of Medicine Chicago, and a practicing oncologist at UI Health. Her clinical focus is on providing comprehensive care to breast cancer patients and ensuring patients enroll in cutting-edge clinical trial therapies with minimal toxicity. Her research interests focus on developing novel therapeutic agents for breast cancer and addressing breast cancer disparities nationally and globally. She is a recipient of the Robert A. Winn Diversity in Clinical Trials Career Development Award. From Nigeria, she also was elected to be the 2024-2025 Vice President: North America for the African Organisation for Research and Training in Cancer (AORTIC), whose members throughout Africa and in the international cancer community are dedicated to reducing the cancer burden in Africa. She was also the inaugural American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) liaison to the newly formed Sub-Saharan Africa Regional Council.

“My career path chose me. As a Black woman originally from Nigeria, I can relate with the inequities that patients who look like me face in the health care system. For the past decade, I have worked tirelessly toward my ultimate career goal of improving the outcome of Black women suffering from breast cancer.”
