Anne is Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School and Professor of Immunology and Infectious Disease at the Harvard School of Public Health. Anne is also a Senior Investigator at the Immune Disease Institute of Children's Hospital Boston and a member of the Infectious Disease Division at Brigham & Women's Hospital in Boston. A leader in molecular immunology and tuberculosis and AIDS research, her work has pioneered the approach of linking delivery of care with basic scientific discovery, which has led to a new understanding of how the immune system responds to tuberculosis and AIDS, with the goal of improved treatments to reach the most patients around the world.
