This series of talks is primarily targeted at faculty, staff and students working in quantitative fields who are interested in learning more about immunology and immunology assay platforms, but all are welcome.
The lecture format will be informal, and typically consist of discussing or answering questions relating to immunology figures or whiteboard sketches of immune processes or assays.
THE FEBRUARY 5th SEMINAR HAS BEEN RESCHEDULED TO MAY 7th
Upcoming Seminar Details:
Title: HIV disclosure in the social networks of adolescents with HIV in Cape Town, South Africa
Speaker: Marta Mulawa
Date and Time: Wednesday, May 7, 2025, at Noon
Marta Mulawa, PhD, MHS, is an assistant professor in the Duke University School of Nursing with a secondary appointment in the Duke Global Health Institute. Dr. Mulawa received her PhD in Health Behavior at the Gillings School of Global Public Health at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She received her MHS in International Health with a focus on Social and Behavioral Interventions from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. Prior to her faculty appointment, she completed a postdoctoral fellowship in Duke's NIH-funded Interdisciplinary Research Training Program in AIDS (IRTPA). Dr. Mulawa’s research focuses on improving population health by examining and addressing social and behavioral determinants of HIV treatment and prevention outcomes in global settings. To inform the development of these HIV interventions, her research also aims to improve our understanding of how social networks influence various HIV-related behaviors.
