Report of Funded and Unfunded Projects
Current Funded Projects
Year(s) funded / Role on Project/ Title of ProjectOne sentence description of the purpose of the project
2016- / A Phase 1, Randomized, Double-Blind Placebo-Controlled Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Safety and Immunogenicity of an Accelerated Vaccination Schedule with a Zika Virus Purified Inactivated Vaccine plus Alum Adjuvant in Healthy Adults
An effective vaccine against Zika virus is a global priority. Our group has previously developed a vaccine providing 100% protection from Zika infection in mouse and primate models. I am a co-investigator for this trial.
2017- / A Phase 1 Randomized Placebo-controlled Clinical Trial of the Safety, Pharmacokinetics and Antiviral Activity of PGT121 Monoclonal Antibody (mAb) in HIV-uninfected and HIV-infected Adults
PGT121 is a promising monoclonal antibody against Human Immunodeficiency Virus that may provide both protection from and treatment for the virus. Furthermore, if found to be effective, PGT121 will help to elucidating a future target for effective HIV vaccines. I am a co-investigator in this trial.
2017- / A randomized, parallel-group, placebo-controlled, double-blind Phase 1/2a study in healthy HIV-uninfected adults to assess safety/tolerability and immunogenicity of 2 different prime/boost regimens: priming with tetravalent Ad26.Mos4.HIV and boosting with tetravalent As26.Mos4.HIV and either Clade C go140 plus adjuvant OR a combination of MosaIC and Clade C go140 plus adjuvant
An effective HIV vaccine is a global necessity. Our group is exploring multiple promising vaccines and boosters. I am a co-investigator in this trial.
2018 / Vermont Incarceration System HIV/HBV/HCV Consultation
Regular meeting with VT Corrections physiciansto discuss healthcare for inmates with complex infections.
Current Unfunded Projects
Year(s) funded / Role on Project/ Title of ProjectOne sentence description of the purpose of the project
2016- / The role of statins on the incidence of Lyme disease
Lyme disease is caused by the bacteria Borrelia burgdorferi; this pathogen has a restricted metabolome and HMG-CoA-Reductase, the target of statins, is a critical enzyme it possesses which is necessary for membrane stability. I am conducting a retrospective review on 3.5M patient encountersover 15 years to see if statin use decreases the risk of Lyme disease.
2016- / Wellness in Residency
Working with the Medicine Residency leadership at BIDMC to describe a comprehensive approach to support resident wellness and prevent burnout
