Marcel Yotebieng

Dr. Marcel Yotebieng is a Professor in the Department of Medicine at Albert Einstein College of Medicine. With extensive experience in HIV and tuberculosis research across Sub-Saharan Africa, his work focuses on optimizing care cascades through implementation science approaches. His research employs cluster randomized trials and causal inference analyses to address barriers in healthcare delivery.

His primary research examines HIV and TB care optimization in resource-limited settings, particularly in Central Africa. Key interests include prevention of mother-to-child transmission strategies, quality improvement interventions for antiretroviral therapy, and diagnostic innovations for tuberculosis detection.

Dr. Yotebieng's publications demonstrate consistent focus on improving healthcare delivery systems through evidence-based interventions. His work integrates economic approaches like conditional cash transfers with clinical strategies to enhance retention in care and treatment outcomes.

He has served on scientific advisory committees for national TB programs and global health initiatives, including the National Academies of Sciences Committee on Improving Quality of Health Care Globally. His research has been funded by NIH, CDC, WHO, and private foundations.
