CAPS/PRC Town Hall and CAPS Methods Core present: Anna Hotton, PhD -- Understanding Socio-Structural Drivers of HIV Transmission Using Epidemiology and Systems Science

Anna Hotton is a Research Assistant Professor in the Section of Infectious Diseases and Global Health at the University of Chicago Department of Medicine. She earned her B.S. degree at Cornell University and her MPH and Ph.D. at the School of Public Health at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. As staff scientist at the Chicago Center for HIV Elimination, Hutton studied the relationship between social factors and viral spread. Her C3.ai DTI-funded project aims to adapt that work to COVID-19, using machine learning to identify data elements that are most important to include in modeling to better simulate various scenarios of disease spread and virtually test how different public health or social policy strategies can help mitigate the disease.
