About Us

We are a team of scientists, clinicians, trainees, advocates, and community members dedicated to clinical and translational research, research training, community outreach, and clinical care. Through these activities, we seek to promote health and wellbeing, improve understanding of disease, and generate knowledge to impact policy change. 
We design, implement, and advise of outcomes from cutting-edge clinical and translational research addressing a broad range of HIV, emerging infections, and science with an emphasis on women’s health-related issues. We engage our community members in these endeavors, and we are deeply invested in training the next generation of scientists locally and around the globe. 
Under the RHYTHM umbrella, there are several research studies and training programs which contribute to the mission of our team, collectively aiming to improve the health of our local and global communities through research, mentorship, and advocacy. 

Funding Announcement Cecile Lahiri Receives K24 Award

Cecile Lahiri received a K24 Award from the National Institutes of Health's National Heart Lung and Blood Institute for a project titled Mentoring in Sex and Gender-Informed Multidisciplinary Research on Cardiometabolic Comorbidities in Persons with HIV. The goals of this study are to explore new methods to identify markers of cardiovascular disease in people living with HIV, expand understanding of the intersection between sex and gender science, and build a patient-oriented research mentoring program which will guide the next generation of leaders exploring cardiometabolic comorbidities.

Congratulations, Dr. Lahiri!
