Dr. Mark Siedner is an infectious disease clinician and researcher in the Division of Infectious Diseases at the Massachusetts General Hospital. His academic investigations are focused in southwestern Uganda with the Massachusetts General Hospital Center for Global Health, where he pursues research aimed at mitigating the complex causes of morbidity and mortality among people living with HIV in low and middle-income countries. My primary research activities include 1) directing clinical trials to evaluate mobile-health based interventions to address structural barriers to care, including transportation costs and poor communication systems, and 2) directing a longitudinal cohort study of aging HIV-infected persons and age- and gender-matched HIV-uninfected controls to understand the intersection between HIV infection and non-communicable disease risk in rural Uganda.
