Jillian Pintye, RN, MPH, PhD is a nurse-scientist whose research focuses on HIV and STI prevention and treatment, particularly within maternal child health and family planning settings. Dr. Pintye is engaged in a suite of studies related to pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for HIV prevention among pregnant populations and young women in Kenya, including both clinical epidemiology and implementation science studies.
Elvin H. Geng, MD, MPH is Professor of Medicine in the Division of Infectious Diseases in the Department of Medicine and Director of the Center for Dissemination and Implementation at the Institute for Public Heath, both at Washington University in St. Louis. He earned MD and MPH degrees from Columbia University and subsequently completed post-doctoral training through the Aaron Diamond AIDS Institute at Rockefeller University (posted to Kunming, China) and a fellowship in infectious diseases at the University of California in San Francisco. Using the lens of implementation science, he conducts research to optimize the use of evidence-based interventions in the public health response to HIV. His work is carried out through collaborations in Kenya, Zambia, Uganda, as well as in safety net setting in the US. Current projects make use of a range of observational, mixed methods, quasi-experimental and experimental methods. His work is sponsored by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the National Institutes of Health.
