Jeffrey N. Martin, MD, MPH, is assistant professor in the Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics at UCSF and the Department of Medicine at San Francisco General Hospital. Dr. Martin received his undergraduate degree at the Johns Hopkins University, his medical degree at the University of Pennsylvania, and his master's degree in public health (with an epidemiology focus) at the University of California, Berkeley. Dr. Martin is currently the associate director of the Behavioral Science and Epidemiology Core of the UCSF-GIVI Center for AIDS Research and was until recently co-director of the Data and Biostatistical Analysis Coordinating Center Core of the California AIDS Research Center at UCSF. In addition, he is co-director of the UCSF Training in Clinical Research Program, director of the Advanced Training in Clinical Research Certificate Program, and director of the forthcoming master's degree program in clinical research. Dr. Martin is board-certified in internal medicine and infectious diseases and attends at the San Francisco General Hospital.
Dr. Martin's research has included evaluating the role of older age on survival in HIV disease, the impact of HIV disease on the development of drug-resistant tuberculosis, the emergence of trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole resistance in the AIDS era, and the effectiveness of mupirocin in eradicating Staphylococcus aureus in HIV-infected patients. He has had extensive experience with large observational cohort studies, including the San Francisco Men's Health Study, and the population-based tuberculosis registry in San Francisco. Dr. Martin's current research interests are in the areas of the epidemiology of human herpesvirus 8/Kaposi's sarcoma–associated herpesvirus (KSHV), the long-term consequences of highly active antiretroviral therapy for HIV infection, post-exposure prophylaxis against HIV infection after sexual or injection drug use exposure, and adherence to antiretroviral therapy. In these studies, Dr. Martin and his colleagues are following over 1500 HIV-infected patients and persons at risk for HIV infection.
