Abuelezam receives NIAID R56-Bridge award

Assistant Professor Nadia Abuelezam and her team from the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health received an R56-Bridge award from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases for their project “Modeling the Role of Pre-exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) in Getting to Zero.” Many U.S. cities have set a goal to reduce the number of new HIV infections to zero. To support this, Abuelezam’s team will use a mathematical model to help city officials, specifically in Miami, better understand the levels of PrEP use that will be necessary to reduce HIV transmissions and new infections.
