Sofia B. Fernandez, PhD
Epidemiology
Dr. Sofia B. Fernandez was recently awarded a two-year period of support from the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD) for her research focusing on improving health outcomes among women living with HIV who experience homelessness and housing instability (3R01MD013563-02S1). The project was awarded as a supplement to an existing R01 grant, led by Dr. Mary Jo Trepka, Professor in the Department of Epidemiology, which focuses on identifying women-centered care practices for women living with HIV in Miami-Dade County in the face of adverse socio-cultural factors.
