Christine Khosropour is an Associate Professor of Epidemiology at the University of Washington and Associate Director of the Implementation Science Core of the UW/Fred Hutch Center for AIDS Research (CFAR). Dr. Khosropour’s work focuses on two complementary areas: (1) understanding the prevalence, reproductive tract sequelae, and public health control of sexually transmitted infections (STI) – specifically chlamydia; and (2) identifying optimal strategies to implement HIV prevention interventions in real-world settings. In parallel with this work, Dr. Khosropour has collaborated with over 20 state and local health departments to evaluate their STI/HIV prevention and control activities. These partnerships provide a strong, practice-informed perspective on the data needed to develop, implement, and evaluate population-based interventions. Dr. Khosropour has taught several epidemiology courses at the University of Washington, including Epidemiology of Infectious Diseases, which she has taught since 2017. She has also mentored numerous public health graduate students and clinical fellows. Dr. Khosropour has served as a member of the Editorial Board of the journal Sexually Transmitted Diseases since 2019 and currently serves as the Chlamydia Section Lead for the CDC STI Treatment Guidelines. Dr. Khosropour received the School of Public Health Outstanding Faculty Teaching Award in 2020, the American STD Association Young Investigator Award in 2017. Dr. Khosropour received her BS in Medical Microbiology and Immunology from the University of Wisconsin, her MPH in Epidemiology from Emory University, and her PhD in Epidemiology from the University of Washington. She completed a post-doctoral fellowship in Applied Epidemiology at the University of Washington via CDC funding for capacity building with health departments.
