Busuyi Agbetunsin

Busuyi Agbetunsin’s career as a Principal Biostatistician in the clinical research industry results from years of dedication and an early fascination with numbers. Growing up in Nigeria, he was drawn to mathematics in a way that many of his peers were not. To him, numbers were more than just figures—they were a language that told a story. This early connection with math laid the foundation for a successful career in biostatistics. In 2014, seeking to broaden his knowledge and career opportunities, Busuyi boldly moved to the United States. His academic journey culminated in earning a Master’s in Biostatistics from Grand Valley State University in Michigan, which he completed in 2016. This degree opened doors to his professional career, and soon, he applied his statistical analysis expertise to the biopharma and clinical research sectors. Today, Busuyi serves as a Principal Biostatistician at Syneos Health, where he analyzes clinical trial data to ensure the safety and effectiveness of new medical treatments. His role involves interpreting complex data sets and drawing meaningful conclusions that inform the development of life-saving therapies. His work is crucial in advancing medical science and improving patient outcomes. Despite his focus on clinical research, Busuyi’s curiosity doesn’t stop with medicine. His interest in human behavior led him to co-author a research paper published in the International Journal of Event and Festival Management. In the paper titled "How do we keep them coming back?" he explored the factors influencing attendee satisfaction and their likelihood of returning to festivals. This work demonstrates his ability to apply statistical knowledge in various fields, showcasing his versatility as a researcher.
