Serena Spudich, MD, MA, and Ana-Claire Meyer, MD, MSHS David M. Greer, MD, MA, FCCM, FAHA, FNCS1 1 Department of Neurology, Yale University School of Medicine,
New Haven, Connecticut
Dr. Serena Spudich is Associate Professor of Neurology at Yale University School of Medicine. She earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Stanford University, her Masters of Arts degree from Stanford University, and her Medical Doctorate from the University of California, San Francisco. She trained in neurology at the Massachusetts General Hospital/Brigham and Women’s Hospital Residency at Harvard Medical School. She subsequently was a fellow in neuroinfectious disease at the Massachusetts General Hospital/Brigham and Women’s Hospital at Harvard Medical School, and later a fellow in Neuro-AIDS at the University of California, San Francisco. She joined the faculty at the University of California, San Francisco, until her move to Yale in 2010, where she is now Chief of the Division of Neurological Infections and Global Neurology. Dr. Spudich has had an outstanding scientific and clinical career, with primary research interests including therapeutic interventions in acute HIV infection, structural neuroimaging markers in primary HIV infection, long-term CNS consequences of treatment during acute HIV infection, and the neuropathobiology of primary HIV-1 infection. She is also beloved at Yale as an outstanding and dedicated clinician, teacher, and mentor. Dr. Ana-Claire Meyer is Assistant Professor of Neurology at Yale University School of Medicine. She earned her Bachelor of Arts degree from Amherst College, her Medical Doctorate from Harvard Medical School, and her Masters of Science in Health Sciences from the University of California, Los Angeles.
She trained in neurology at the Massachusetts General Hospital/Brigham and Women’s Hospital Residency at Harvard Medical School, and was a Robert Wood Johnson Clinical Scholar at the University of California, Los Angeles. She subsequently joined the faculty at the University of California, San Francisco, until her move to Yale in 2013. She has been visiting scientist at the Kenya Medical Research Institute since 2009, where she spends the majority of her time devoted to HIV research and clinical care. Her research has focused on treatment of HIV-associated cognitive impairment, targeted treatment of early cryptococcal infection, the association between cysticercosis and epilepsy, and augmenting human resources for neurologic care in East Africa. She has helped develop a global health curriculum for residents at Yale, and has successfully mentored multiple residents, fellows, and medical students in the field of HIV neurology and neuroinfectious disease. We greatly appreciate the efforts of Drs. Spudich and Meyer, as well as all of their contributing authors, for their great work in this issue of Seminars. The issue provides tremendous insights to the field of neuro-HIV, not only informing the reader about pathogenesis and current treatment options/recommendations, but also lending insights to the future of this tremendous public and global health issue, as well as the research that will change the way it is approached in the future.
