Abstract:
|
Steve's leadership in AIDS clinical trials and longitudinal studies helped convert data into action -- to prevent HIV transmission, improve treatment, and save lives. He designed and analyzed research studies to investigate how and when HIV-infected women transmit the virus to their children -- questions that have profound impacts on the type and lengths of treatment. He developed sophisticated methods to improve the estimation of HIV incidence rates. He also contributed to broadening access to antiretroviral drugs to people in developing countries and played an invaluable role in helping to establish HIV/AIDS clinical trials in Botswan. In summary, Steve was a successful leader and a delightful personality with a knack for finding something of value in the views of others, much as he could extract value from numerical data in a clinical trial.
