Zalla says the clinical expertise of Dr. Adimora and Dr. Eron was key to ensuring studies would be useful to clinicians and people living with HIV.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Dissertations build on multiple disciplinary perspectives with new contributions to global health knowledge and practice. Lauren Zalla<\/a>\u2019s project, guided by infectious disease professors Ada Adimora<\/a>, MD, MPH, and Joe Eron<\/a>, MD, is a good example. Bringing clinical expertise to Zalla\u2019s dissertation committee, they helped her design a study that explored racial disparities in the prescription of integrase inhibitors (INSTIs), the newest class of drugs used as antiretroviral therapy (ART) to treat HIV. A paper about the study was recently published in JAMA<\/a>.<\/p>\n
