She is an Associate Professor in the Department of Epidemiology at UCLA School of Public Health and trained at Middlebury College (B.A. African History, 1992), UCLA School of Public Health (M.P.H, International Health and Nutrition, 1996), and the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health (Ph.D. International Health, Division of Disease Prevention and Control, 2003).

Dr. Rimoin's methodological expertise is in the design and implementation of disease surveillance programs, epidemiologic studies, and field trials in developing countries, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. In 2007, she founded Congo BioMed, a foundation created to promote biomedical research, training and sustainable health programs in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Currently, Dr. Rimoin directs an epidemiologic study of human monkeypox in the DRC. She has established a research site in central DRC which now serves as the headquarters for a variety of studies of cross species transmission of disease.http://www.ph.ucla.edu/epi/faculty/rimoin/rimoin.html

(7/24) Carla Shatz

Stanford School of Medicine (cshatz@stanford.edu)

Neurobiologist

An American neurobiologist and a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the National Academy of Sciences, and the Institute of Medicine. Dr. Shatz is one of the pioneers who determined some of the basic principles of early brain development. She found that the spontaneous activity of neurons in utero is critical for the formation of precise and orderly neural connections in the central nervous system. Her recent work shows that waves of spontaneous activity in the retina can alter gene expression and the strength of synaptic connections.
