With nearly 15 years of experience in clinical TB and HIV research in the US and sub-Saharan Africa, Dr. Kerkhoff’s work applies implementation science methods to improve individual- and population-level outcomes across the TB and HIV care cascades through person-centered and equity-focused approaches. His research particularly focuses on (1) the development and implementation of novel TB diagnosis and case-finding tools and strategies, and (2) implementation readiness in high-burden countries for new TB vaccines targeting adults and adolescents. Dr. Kerkhoff serves as the Associate Program Director for Curriculum for the UCSF Implementation Science Training Program, where he co-directs the Introduction to Implementation Science Course and he also co-directs the UCSF CFAR Implementation Science Interest Group.
