Dobromir Dimitrov

Dobromir Dimitrov is a Staff Scientist in VIDD. His current projects include a comprehensive analysis of (1) drug resistance mechanisms using mathematical models, (2) public health impact of pre-exposure prophylaxis interventions and (3) optimal combined interventions for HIV prevention.

Paul Edlefsen

Paul Edlefsen is an Assistant Member in VIDD. His group uses statistical and computational methods for bioinformatics applications, including sieve analyses of HIV vaccine trials and modeling for genome sequence analysis.

Thomas Fleming

Thomas Fleming is a Member in VIDD. His lab works on the statistical analysis and design of multiple clinical trials, and recently published on the prevention of HIV infection with early antiretroviral therapy.

Barbra Richardson

Barbra Richardson is a Member in VIDD. Her lab is currently developing methodologies for estimating breastmilk infectivity among HIV-1 infected mothers and analyzing the use of microbicides as preventive agents for sexual transmission of HIV-1 via statistical analyses.
