Cavan S. Reilly, PhD

As the associate director of the Coordinating Centers for Biometric Research, my work focuses on design, implementation, and analysis of clinical research on infectious diseases, with an emphasis on HIV/AIDS and Ebola virus disease (EVD). I also have interests in other chronic diseases such as COPD. I'm currently involved with multiple clinical trials and a cohort study of EVD survivors.
