Our Team
Led by principal investigator Dr. Matthew Freiberg, (seated, center) the Vanderbilt Center for Population Science and Randomized Clinical Trials is collaborative and impactful.
Over the last decade our center has evolved from a singular focus on HIV and cardiovascular disease into a robust population science and clinical trials center.
We support other investigators at Vanderbilt University Medical Center and beyond by training the next generation of population scientists.
