Rate My Professor George Seage III

As principal investigator of the Pediatric HIV/AIDS Cohort Study (PHACS) Data and Operations Center for the last 15 years of his career, Seage advanced knowledge on the long-term health effects of antiretroviral therapy in children with perinatal HIV infection and HIV-exposed uninfected youth. His research illuminated behavioral aspects of HIV transmission, natural history, treatment, and prevention, influencing global pediatric HIV care guidelines and public health policy. Seage co-authored the widely used textbook Essentials of Epidemiology in Public Health, first published in 2003 with Ann Aschengrau, and authored over 200 peer-reviewed publications in major journals. Notable works include Expanded screening for HIV in the United States—an analysis of cost-effectiveness (New England Journal of Medicine, 2005), The cost effectiveness of combination antiretroviral therapy for HIV disease (New England Journal of Medicine, 2001), and Estimating the lost benefits of antiretroviral drug use in South Africa (JAIDS Journal of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndromes, 2008). He received the Massachusetts Governor’s Award for Outstanding Contributions to AIDS Research, Fenway Community Health Center Research Award, and Boston University School of Public Health Alumni Award. Seage mentored the next generation of infectious disease epidemiologists and fostered collaborative research environments.
