Adjunct Assistant Professor
Research Assistant Professor
Faculty, Behavioral/Social/Health Educ
My key research interests include structural determinants of HIV/AIDS and implementation of harm reduction services in the US and globally. I also studied influence of stigma and violence on health of marginalized populations in my native Tajikistan and China. In my work I apply multilevel and structural equation modelling and qualitative methods. Before joining academia I led national-level HIV prevention and harm reduction programs in Tajikistan.
