Marguerita Lightfoot, PhD, is Professor of Medicine at the University of California, San Francisco School of Medicine, Chief for the Division of Prevention Science, Director of the Center for AIDS Prevention Studies (CAPS), Director of the UCSF Prevention Research Center and she holds the Walter Gray Endowed Chair. Her research focus has been improving the health and well-being of adolescents and young adults as well as the development of efficacious interventions to reduce acquisition and transmission of HIV among those populations disproportionately burdened by the epidemic. Her domestic and international research has included developing interventions for runaway/homeless youth, juvenile justice involved adolescents, youth in medical clinics and settings, youth with a parent living with HIV, and youth living with HIV, among others. She is particularly interested in developing cost-effective interventions that are easily translatable with utility in community settings and utilizes new technologies to engage disenfranchised individuals in health promotion activities.  She has extensive experience training and mentoring students, fellows, trainees, and early-career faculty across a number of disciplines. She also currently serves as a standing review committee member for a NIH review panel, on the editorial boards of American Psychologist and Cultural Diversity & Ethnic Minority Psychology, and was recently associate editor for the Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology.

 

Greg Rebchook, PhD, received his doctorate at the University of Colorado, Boulder in Sociocultural Psychology. He has been working in the HIV prevention field since 1987. Currently, Dr. Rebchook is the Co-director of the CAPS Technology and Information Exchange Core. He is the Principal Investigator of a CDC-funded grant to provide capacity building assistance to community-based organizations, and he is the Principal Investigator on a federally-funded HRSA SPNS project to evaluate and provide technical assistance to nine sites across the US who are developing innovative interventions to successfully engage HIV+ transgender women of color into HIV care. His current research also focuses on HIV prevention and engagement in care among young gay/bisexual/and other men who have sex with men (MSM), especially with young African American men.

 

Starley Shade, PhD, is Associate Professor of Epidemiology and Biostatistics at the University of California, San Francisco. She obtained her PhD in Epidemiology from UC Berkeley in 2006.  Dr. Shade is an expert in the quantitative and economic evaluation of health services for people living with HIV.  Her current and recent projects include Strengthening Mozambican Capacity in Strategic Information Systems under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, Improvements in the South African HIV care cascade: Findings on 90-90-90 targets from successive population-representative surveys in North West Province, and The Role of Gender Affirmation and Healthcare Empowerment in Viral Suppression Among Transgender Women of Color Living with HIV.

Marie Stoner, PhD, is a social and infectious disease epidemiologist. She is currently an investigator in the Women’s Global Health Imperative at RTI International based in San Francisco. Marie’s work focuses on HIV prevention among adolescents and young adults in South Africa and in North Carolina. She is particularly interested in using epidemiologic methods to understand the biological and behavioral pathways underlying the social determinants of HIV infection and to inform the design of more effective combination prevention programs for adolescents. She completed her PhD and postdoctoral training in the Department of Epidemiology at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill.
