Dr. Cecile Lahiri, MD, MSc, is an Associate Professor in the Emory University Department of Medicine and Division of Infectious Diseases. She received her undergraduate and medical degrees from the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill and completed residency, fellowship, and a Master’s degree in Clinical Research at Emory University. Dr. Lahiri provides care to persons living with HIV at the Grady Ponce de Leon Center, one of the largest HIV clinics in the nation, and is an attending infectious diseases physician at Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta, Georgia. Dr. Lahiri is a clinical/translational HIV researcher whose NIH-funded work focuses on understanding factors that contribute to non-AIDS comorbidities, including tissue reservoirs, antiretroviral therapy (ART), and co-infections, with a specific interest on the impact of sex and gender. Persons with HIV, and particularly women, are at increased risk of significant morbidity and mortality from non-AIDS comorbidities, even in the setting of potent ART. Dr. Lahiri has focused much of her research on understanding sex differences in the pathophysiology and consequences of chronic HIV infection and its long-term treatment through her roles as M-PI and Director of Research Development for the Emory Specialized Center of Research Excellence (SCORE) on Sex Differences and Co-Investigator of the Atlanta Multicenter AIDS Cohort/Women’s Interagency HIV Study (MACS/WIHS) Combined Cohort Study.
