Dr. Yukari Manabe is a Professor in the Division of Infectious Diseases in the Department of Medicine with secondary appointments in the Bloomberg School of Public Health Department of International Health and the Department of Microbiology and Molecular Immunology. Dr. Manabe began her career working on the basic science aspects of tuberculosis (TB) immunopathogenesis in comparative animal models of infection, particularly latency, reactivation, and immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS) in the rabbit model within the Johns Hopkins Center for Tuberculosis Research. In 2007, she was seconded to the Infectious Diseases Institute (IDI) at Makerere College of Health Sciences as the Associate Medical Laboratory Director of the College of American Pathologists certified Makerere University-Johns Hopkins University Clinical Core Lab to study antiretroviral associated TB and IRIS. She then became the Head of Research at the IDI in 2008 until 2012 where she built research capacity and infrastructure to train Ugandan investigators. Since returning to Hopkins, she has become the PI of the Johns Hopkins POC STD Center (U54 funded through NIH) which is part of the newly formed Johns Hopkins Center for Innovative Diagnostics for Infectious Diseases. The Center develops new diagnostics, funds development for point-of-care diagnostics, evaluates (validation and verification) new technology, and performs pre-clinical studies to accelerate the development of infectious disease assays (STIs, TB, acute febrile illness, HIV, syphilis, viral hepatitis). Dr. Manabe is particularly interested in rapid, point-of-care infectious disease diagnostics suitable for the resource-limited settings particularly in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Her research has focused on accuracy testing of various rapid, point-of-care diagnostics for HIV and related infectious diseases of clinical importance in SSA. Studies have ranged from evaluations of performance accuracy through clinical implementation science studies on the patient-centered outcomes and impactful use of new rapid diagnostics. Dr. Manabe obtained her undergraduate degree from Yale University and her M.D. from Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons. After completing both her residency in Internal Medicine and fellowship in Infectious Diseases at Johns Hopkins Hospital, she joined the faculty in 1999. Dr. Manabe is rated as a Distinguished provider by MediFind in the treatment of Gonorrhea. Her top areas of expertise are HIV/AIDS, Cryptococcosis, Gonorrhea, Meningitis, and Tissue Biopsy.

Khalil Ghanem's, M.D., Ph.D., research interests include sexually transmitted infections and the vaginal microbiome. In 2008, he received his Ph.D. degree in Clinical Investigation from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.

Dr. Kelly Gebo is a graduate of The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. She also earned an MPH in Epidemiology from The Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. She completed residency training in Internal Medicine at The Johns Hopkins Hospital followed by an infectious diseases fellowship and two additional years of fellowship training as a Robert Wood Johnson Clinical Scholar, also at Hopkins. Her clinical and research interests include clinical outcomes and healthcare utilization research within infectious diseases. She was Director of the JHU Public Health Studies Program between the Krieger School for Arts and Sciences and the Bloomberg School for Public Health, was an American Council of Education Fellow (hosted at the University of Pennsylvania) and was the inaugural Vice Provost for Education at Johns Hopkins. She was on sabbatical at Stanford University School of Medicine 2019-20 and served as the Chief Medical and Scientific Officer for the All of Us Research Program 2018-2020. She currently serves as the director of the Johns Hopkins Clinical Research Scholars Program and is Deputy Director of the Johns Hopkins Institute for Clinical and Translational Research. She has mentored undergraduate, public health and medical students, trainees, and junior faculty on infectious diseases and health services projects. She has authored or co-authored numerous chapters and over 250 papers.
