Research Interests
Dr. Manhart's primary research interests are in sexually transmitted infections (STI) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Her current research involves defining the clinical epidemiology of two potentially new STI pathogens, Mycoplasma genitalium and Ureaplasmas, including interactions with HIV infection. In addition to an ongoing clinical trial of standard therapies for these new etiologies of non-gonococcal urethritis, she also studies socio-behavioral factors associated with STI, transmission dynamics, and epidemiologic methodology related to STI research. In population-based research she collaborates with the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health on studies comparing this nationally representative survey to STD clinic-based populations. Internationally, Manhart collaborates with an epidemiology group in India on a monitoring and evaluation study of capacity to provide HIV-care in government facilities in the state of Andhra Pradesh.
Teaching Interests
Dr. Manhart currently teaches EPI 520 "Infectious Disease Epidemiology", offered in the Winter Quarter.
