Join UCSF Institute for Global Health Sciences for the Innovation Pathways Series on Innovations in Clinical Trials Design. The Innovation Pathways series will take place monthly.
Innovations in Clinical Trials Design sessions are hosted by Patrick Phillips, PhD, MS, MA, Associate Professor in Residence in the Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine and the Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics.
Guest Speaker: Ben Arnold, PhD
Ben Arnold, PhD, is an Associate Professor at UCSF’s F.I. Proctor Foundation. His NIH-funded research focuses on “seroepidemiology”: the use of antibodies in blood to measure infectious disease transmission (with a particular focus on trachoma elimination and enteric pathogens). His research also focuses on methodologic questions in areas of clinical trial design, analysis, and causal inference. Arnold heads Proctor’s Data Coordinating Center and collaborates with Proctor Foundation faculty in the design and analysis of over 20 ongoing randomized controlled trials in global health funded by the NIH and Gates Foundation. He completed his training in evolutionary biology (AB, Dartmouth College), biostatistics (MA, University of California, Berkeley) and epidemiology (PhD, University of California, Berkeley).
