Hi everyone,
Dr. Sheri Weiser will be speaking at the last Careers in Global Health elective (S-214, 12-1, burritos are back!) Please see below for her bio.
If you have missed some of the sessions, I'll be sending out info soon for how to make them up (we'll also be sending out the attendance so you can double-check the record-keeping).
We hope you've enjoyed the elective! And we're looking for eager students to coordinate the course next year - please email back if interested so that we can keep this elective going.
See you tomorrow!
Cheers,
Michelle, Jenn, Jay
Sheri Weiser, MD, MA, MPH
Dr. Weiser is an internist and Assistant Professor of medicine in the Division of HIV/AIDS and the Center for AIDS Prevention Studies (CAPS) at UCSF. Her research over the past 10 years has focused on structural barriers to HIV prevention, antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence, and HIV treatment in underserved populations in resource-rich and resource-poor settings. She is particularly interested in the role of sustainable food production strategies in improving gender empowerment and models of HIV care delivery to underserved populations. Currently she is the principal investigator on several international grants to study the longitudinal impacts of food insecurity on HIV clinical outcomes, adherence to ART, and high-risk sexual behavior in rural Uganda. She also carried out similar research in domestic cohorts of urban poor HIV-infected adults to assess the longitudinal impacts of food insecurity on access to HIV treatment and care, HIV clinical outcomes and metabolic complications of HIV. Recently she was funded as a multiple-principal investigator on an NIH R34 intervention grant to study the impact of a multisectoral agricultural intervention in Nyanza Province Kenya.
