My current research program is focused on identifying low-cost solutions to measuring antiretroviral levels in resource-poor settings, such as determining drug levels in hair samples, including levels of anti-tuberculosis drugs. I also participate in research efforts on HIV prevention in women.  I have an interest at UCSF in HIV education and mentorship. I co-directed the "Communicable Diseases of Global Health Importance" course in the Global Health Sciences Masters program from 2008-2015, and served as the overall Education Director of the HIV, ID and Global Medicine Division. I also served as the principal investigator of an R24 mentoring grant from the NIH focused on nurturing early career investigators of diversity in HIV research, am the co-Director for the Center for AIDS Research (CFAR) Mentoring Program, and am the Chair of the Advisory Board for the UCSF Building Interdisciplinary Research Careers in Women's Health (BIRCWH).
