About Us
The Menzies Lab is based in the Department of Global Health and Population at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. Our research focuses on major infectious diseases, tuberculosis (TB) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), in the United States and in low-resource settings.
The lab uses mechanistic and statistical modeling to undertake a range of research investigating the health impact and cost-effectiveness of infectious disease treatment and prevention programs.
Our work involves close collaboration with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for US-based TB research, as well as the Gates Foundation, the World Health Organization, and the Global Fund Against AIDS, TB, and Malaria. More recently, our team has been contributing their efforts and working with local health departments on the COVID-19 response.
Nick Menzies is Associate Professor of Global Health in the Department of Global Health and Population, and part of the core faculty of the Harvard Center for Health Decision Science. He uses decision science and quantitative research to understand the consequences of policies to combat major infectious diseases and help design effective disease control programs when resources are limited.
We welcome opportunities for collaboration.
