Bio
Dr. Monisha Sharma is an infectious disease epidemiologist whose research interests include mathematical modeling and cost-effectiveness analyses of HIV testing and treatment interventions in sub-Saharan Africa. She is the principal investigator of a K01 award to design an intervention into increase men’s uptake of HIV self-testing and clinic linkage in Uganda. During her joint postdoctoral fellowship with UW and the Harvard School of Public Health, she worked to develop a mathematical model of HIV/HPV co-infection to project the cost-effectiveness of cervical cancer prevention strategies in South Africa. She is currently working on a scale up project of Assisted Partner Notification services in Kenya and collaborates with the Institute for Disease Modeling to project the impact of community-based pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) scale up in Kenya and Uganda.
