Stephanie Shiau, Ph.D., M.P.H., is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biostatistics and Epidemiology at the Rutgers School of Public Health. Within the School, she has served as Co-Chair of the Curriculum Committee, and currently serves as Concentration Leader of Epidemiology. At Rutgers, Dr. Shiau has built an interdisciplinary research program that sits at the intersection of life course epidemiology, infectious disease, and aging. Her work focuses on identifying and understanding factors that influence trajectories of comorbidities associated with infections, including HIV, across the lifespan, with the goal of discovering points of intervention. To accomplish this work, she applies epidemiological and statistical methods to analyze clinical, molecular, and administrative data from human populations, in collaboration with scientists from diverse scientific disciplines. Currently, her research has three core objectives: (A) understanding comorbidities among people growing up and aging with HIV; (B) identifying molecular biomarkers of aging with HIV; and (C) investigating inflammation and epigenetic mechanisms in perinatal epidemiology. Dr. Shiau’s research portfolio has received funding from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, National Institute on Drug Abuse, and the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research. In addition to her research, Dr. Shiau teaches courses in epidemiologic methods within the School, drawing on her expertise to train the next generation of public health scientists. She is also actively engaged with professional service, serving as Co-Chair of the Mentoring Committee for the Society for Epidemiologic Research and as a standing member of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Reproductive, Perinatal and Pediatric Health (RPPH) Study Section.
