Professional Interests

Howard D. Strickler, MD, MPH, is a Professor in the Department of Epidemiology & Population Health at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York City, where he is the Head of the Division of Epidemiology, and the Harold and Muriel Block Chair in Epidemiology. He is also leader of the Cancer Epidemiology Program of the Albert Einstein Cancer Center, as well as an Associate Director of the Clinical Core of the Center For AIDS Research (CFAR). He is internationally recognized for his work on HPV natural history in HIV+ women, which has played an important role in recent changes to the clinical guidelines for cervical cancer screening in women with HIV. His studies of obesity/inflammation and its relation with viral natural history and cancer risk have also been highly cited. Prior to Einstein in 1999, Dr. Strickler was a Senior Clinical Investigator for 7 years at NCI in the Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics, which he joined after completing his MPH and residency in Preventive Medicine at Johns Hopkins. At the national level he has been a long term member of the USPHS/CDC/NIH task force (HPV disease section) to set clinical guidelines for disease prevention and treatment of adult HIV+ patients, and was a long term member of the NCI EPIC study section. He has several times received honors from NCI/NIH for his research regarding HPV and cervical disease among HIV+ women, as well as his other molecular (obesity) epidemiologic research, which have been cited as “Research Highlights” by the Epidemiology & Genomics Research Program of NCI.
