New Investigator Award

New investigators also had to demonstrate scholarly activity such as publishing their research and/or presenting their findings at national conventions.
Research focus:
- HIV pharmacology
The goal of my research is: to optimize therapy for people living with HIV to bring about superior health outcomes. I have a particular interest in the co-treatment of HIV and tuberculosis (TB).
My research will make a difference in individuals living with HIV and TB because: it will help bring about shorter, more simplified and better-tolerated treatment regimens for treating the diseases concurrently.
The best advice I’ve ever been given is: simply the golden rule — “Treat others as you would like others to treat you.”
Three things you may not know about me are:
- I once road an elephant in northern Thailand.
- I enjoy drinking and learning about wine. Becoming a sommelier is an appealing retirement plan.
- My wife, Sarah, and I have three kids, Adelyn (11), Jack (8) and Beau (4). Sunday afternoon golf outings have become a tradition for our family.
Congrats Tony!!! more than deserved and many more to come.
Congratulations Anthony – keep up the good work!
