Biography
Peter F. Rebeiro, PhD, MHS is an Assistant Professor of Medicine in the Divisions of Infectious Diseases and Epidemiology, and an Assistant Professor of Biostatistics, at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine. He is also the Director of Graduate Studies for the Vanderbilt University epidemiology PhD program. Peter received a B.A. in Biology from Yale University in 2005 followed by an Sc.M. in Epidemiology in 2012, and an M.H.S. in Biostatistics and Ph.D. in Epidemiology in 2014 from Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. His research focuses on assessing spatial, contextual, and health policy factors related to the HIV Care Continuum in North, Central, and South America. He has received NIH/NIAID funding to examine these issues (K01 and R21), and currently works with the Tennessee Center for AIDS Research (TN-CFAR), the Caribbean, Central and South America network for HIV epidemiology (CCASAnet), the North American AIDS Cohort Collaboration on Research and Design (NA-ACCORD), and the Regional Prospective Observational Research for TB (RePORT)-Brazil cohort.
More About Peter Rebeiro, PhD
I am thrilled to serve in both the Epidemiology/Outcomes group and the Data Science Core of the Tennessee Center for AIDS Research (TN-CFAR) where I help direct statistical analysis and study design clinics and collaborate with clinician-scientists, epidemiologists, biostatisticians, biomedical informaticists, and public health policy-makers across institutions. As an epidemiologist and biostatistician within the TN-CFAR, my focus has been on assessing the epidemiology of HIV using individual-level HIV and behavioral risk factor surveillance data and neighborhood-level social determinant of health (SDoH) data, primarily through TN-CFAR’s partnership with the Tennessee Department of Health (TDH). To that end, I have co-authored 10 manuscripts with TN-CFAR investigators using TDH surveillance or respondent-driven-sampling data, and 49 others using distinct TN-CFAR-affiliated cohorts. As the TN-CFAR continues to diversify its ranks, I am also excited to contribute my scientific knowledge and skills through the lens of my lived experience as an openly gay man, born-and-raised in Nashville, Tennessee.
