University. Dr. Brookmeyer’s research is at the interface of biostatistics and public health. A
main theme of Dr. Brookmeyer’s work concerns statistical and quantitative approaches for
measuring the health of populations. Dr. Brookmeyer develops statistical methods and models
for tracking and forecasting health and disease. He has worked extensively on the development
of methods for tracking the course of the global HIV/AIDS epidemic. Dr. Brookmeyer
developed the back-calculation method for disease forecasting and developed statistical
approaches for biomarker-based methods for ascertaining HIV incidence rates in populations. He
has also worked on issues of biosecurity, including epidemic models. His research interests in
biostatistics include survival analysis, clinical trial design and analyses, and epidemiological and
statistical methods for disease surveillance. Dr. Brookmeyer is currently the chair of the
Statistics in Epidemiology Section of the American Statistical Association. He is a fellow of the

Dr. David D. Celentano is a professor and the chair of the Department of Epidemiology, with
joint teaching appointments in the Departments of Health, Society, and Behavior and
International Health at the Bloomberg School of Public Health at Johns Hopkins University, as
well as in the School of Medicine. His research integrates behavioral science theory and research
with epidemiology, in the study of behavioral and social epidemiology. While originally trained
in a chronic disease paradigm (alcoholism and cancer control), he began his research in
HIV/AIDS and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) in the early 1980s. In this regard, he has
worked on some of the major cohort studies (ALIVE, MACS) in HIV epidemiology, as well as
conducted intervention research in the United States for heterosexual men and women, injection
drug users, and young men who have sex with men. He turned to international research in 1990,
when he began a long-term collaboration with Chiang Mai University in northern Thailand. He
and his collaborators have demonstrated that a behavioral intervention with young men (military
conscripts) leads to a seven-fold reduction in incident STDs and halving the HIV incidence rate.
In addition, the role of STDs and alcohol use on HIV acquisition has been shown through his
research. More recently, his group has conducted a prospective study of hormonal contraception
in relation to HIV seroconversion and human papillomavirus (HPV) incidence, a study with
significant family planning policy and health implications. Today, he is the principal investigator
of four studies supported by the National Institutes of Health in Thailand, focusing on
interventions to influence the association between opiate use, methamphetamine use, and other
drugs on HIV. He is the author of over 450 peer-reviewed articles. He is co-editor of “Public
Health Aspects of HIV/AIDS in Low and Middle Income Countries: Epidemiology, Prevention
and Care” (Springer, 2008). Dr. Celentano has served on three prior Institute of Medicine

Dr. Kathryn Whetten is an associate professor of public policy, nursing, and community and
family medicine studies at Duke University. She is the director of the Center for Health Policy-
Health Inequities Program, as well as the research director for the Hart Fellows Program.
Whetten assisted in the creation of Duke’s Global Health Institute (DGHI) of which she is a
member. Dr. Whetten’s research focuses on evaluating and creating models of health care for
chronically ill individuals. The target audience for her research is health policy analysts and
decision makers, administrators, and clinicians. Dr. Whetten’s area of study involves the
identification of barriers to care, the creation of models of care that reduce barriers to care in a
changing financial environment, the evaluation of such models, and engaging in the policy
debate. Evaluation includes econometric models examining cost, health outcomes, utilization of
health and human services, and satisfaction on the part of the patient and the provider. Much of
Dr. Whetten’s current research focuses on two of the most difficult populations to serve: those
living with HIV, mental health, and/or substance disorders living around the world; and children
who have been orphaned or abandoned. Dr. Whetten has lead more than 15 federally-funded
research grants and is the author of two books and more than 50 peer reviewed articles. Currently
Dr. Whetten and her intervention, service, and research team have research projects that address
issues surrounding HIV/AIDS, mental health, substance abuse, being orphaned, social justice,
and poverty in the U.S. Deep South, Tanzania, Kenya, Ethiopia, India (including Nagaland),
