Mofiyin Obadina

Mofiyin Obadina, MD, MSCR is an Assistant Professor of Medicine in the Division of Hematology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Medicine. She provides clinical care for adults with non-malignant blood disorders including red blood cell conditions and thrombotic diseases while conducting research to improve sickle cell disease outcomes.

Her educational background includes:

• Medical School: Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University
• Residency: University of Rochester Medical Center
• Fellowship: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

Dr. Obadina's research centers on sickle cell disease with specialized focus on women's health and pregnancy complications. She investigates modifiable risk factors to enhance survival and quality of life for adults with hemoglobinopathies, extending to classical hematology and thrombosis mechanisms. Her clinical work directly informs this translational research approach.

Publication analysis reveals consistent sickle cell disease focus in recent work (2022-2025), particularly examining pregnancy complications, nocturnal desaturation patterns, and renal manifestations. Early career publications include breast cancer biomarker research and electrochemical DNA damage studies, demonstrating evolving specialization toward hemoglobinopathy clinical research.
