Deborah Donnell has served as the Deputy Director of the HPTN Statistical Center since 2000. Dr. Donnell is a Senior Staff Scientist at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center and has led the day-to-day management of the HPTN statistical and data management team throughout the last funding period. She has developed a close and very effective collaboration with Dr. Fleming and manages the triage of myriad scientific, statistical, and study conduct issues and continues to provide close fiscal and scientific oversight to HPTN studies.

Dr. Donnell has been involved in AIDS research efforts since 1995, as lead statistician on both HIVNET and HPTN trials. Currently she is the lead statistician on two HPTN Phase III trials: HPTN 037 and HPTN 058. She has served as the senior statistician with the Substance Use Working Group, as the SDMC alternate in the HPTN Prevention Leadership Group, on the HPTN Protocol Review Committee, and is a member of the Project Accept Steering Committee. Dr. Donnell is a non-voting member of the HPTN Executive Committee, and the chair of the data management committee. Dr. Donnell attends SCHARP Executive and Study Management meetings to ensure both oversight of HPTN studies and collaboration with MTN and HVTN operations. Dr. Donnell also serves as a faculty statistician with the Behavioral and Social Science Working Group that cuts across both the HPTN and the HVTN.
