Connie Celum I am the principal investigator for the Seattle HPTU site. I am an infectious disease physician and an epidemiologist. My interest in HIV, both from clinical, prevention, and treatment perspectives, was stimulated during my clinical training in San Francisco. My involvement began in 1994 when the 8 domestic HPTU sites were originally funded. Studies in which I am particularly involved include development of the initial vaccine preparedness study (locally called "Be A Hero"); the special study for persons enrolled in HPTU who became newly infected with HIV; trials of nonoxynol-9 and new microbicide products; the behavioral intervention trial (Explore); and phase I-III HIV vaccine trials. In addition to this, I am involved in other studies investigating herpes and other STDs as important risk factors for HIV infection. E-mail: ccelum@u.washington.edu |
