Under the direction of Dr. Stephen Lagakos at the School of Public Health , the Quantitative Methods Program has made significant progress in fostering new collaborations and engaging junior faculty in AIDS training and research. The Program's goals are to promote (1) interactions among investigators at Harvard involved in the development and application of quantitative methods, including biostatistics, epidemiology, computational biology/bioinformatics, and mathematical modeling, to hypothesis driven HIV/AIDS research; and (2) greater synergy and collaboration among investigators whose main research focus is reflected in other Scientific Programs within CFAR.
The Quantitative Methods Program sponsored or co-sponsored the following seminars since its creation in July 1, 2007:
• Alexander Macalalad, Department of Biostatistics, HSPH: “A Physician/Biostatistician's Perspective on the Last 25 Years of the AIDS Epidemic: A Look Back and a Call to Action”; September 26, 2006
