Kristopher Fennie is an infectious disease epidemiologist. His current research interests center on issues of medication adherence, patient-provider trust and communication of people with HIV/AIDS and HCV. He also is involved in international work helping Chinese nurses initiate nursing and public health research and education programs. He focuses on bridging research to public health practice. Fennie believes his broad range of public health experience (e.g. community health profiles to working on statistical techniques to improve adherence measures) is a strength for the Section. He would like to focus on disenfranchised populations, issues of power and politics in health, and global health perspectives.
