Ira M. Longini, Jr., Ph.D.
 Dr. Longini is an internationally-recognized researcher in the application of stochastic processes and mathematical models in infectious disease research as well as in the development of statistical methods for evaluating infectious disease interventions. He has worked on mathematical and statistical methods for infectious diseases since 1975 and has published close to 100 peer-reviewed papers. Dr. Longini will be responsible for developing the statistical methods for evaluating the effects of HIV vaccines on infectiousness. Drs. Halloran and Longini have been a productive and complementary team since Dr. Halloran joined the faculty at Emory in December 1989. Together they proposed the idea of the augmenting vaccine studies to measure the effect of vaccines on infectiousness.
