Biographical Sketch: Dr. Kee Chan is an assistant professor of health sciences and epidemiology at Boston University, where she conducts research and teaches courses in public health and genomics. Dr. Chan received her BS in molecular biology, her MS in biology at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) and her PhD in Epidemiology of Microbial Diseases at Yale University. While completing her PhD, she received a 5-yr fellowship at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) where she developed a newborn screening test for severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) and designed models to evaluate the costs and benefits of population-based screening for SCID. In 2007, Dr. Chan joined the faculty at Boston University, where she conducts research using tools in decision-making sciences and implementation research. Her current projects, in collaboration with the Massachusetts State Department of Public Health, involve evaluating the cost-benefits of screening for autism, and in collaboration with the Veterans Affairs (VA) hospital, Dr. Chan is developing a business case model of expanding HIV testing using innovative clinical reminder systems. Dr. Chan's research interest lie in intersecting molecular biology, genetics, public health, and policies to evaluate cost-benefits/cost-effectiveness of the implementation of innovative methods and to project long-term impact on science, population health, and polices.
