A clinical research group working to advance the field of gynecology through medical innovation, by increasing quality of medical care, and by closing gaps in access to sexual and reproductive healthcare and education. Our team has a number of ongoing and completed projects in the sexual and reproductive health field related to the prevention and treatment of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and HIV, menstrual disorders, and adolescent sexual and reproductive healthcare.

The David Celentano Lab studies behavioral and social epidemiology by integrating behavioral science theory and research with epidemiology methods. Our team directs epidemiological investigations and stages preventive interventions targeting HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted infections.

The Jonathan Zenilman lab conducts research related to sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). We are working to develop biological markers for sexual behavior to use in other research. The lab studies sexual risk behaviors in highly vulnerable populations and studies datasets from the Baltimore City Health Department to understand STD trends and behaviors. Additionally, we study nosocomial infections at Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center, with a focus on developing an antimicrobial control program. We also conduct clinical research related to the natural history and microbiology of chronic wounds in the outpatient setting.
