Jesse Moreira-Bouchard is a Clinical Assistant Professor in Human Physiology at Boston University School of Medicine and Faculty in Health Sciences at Sargent College, where they co-lead the Q.U.E.E.R. Lab. Their work bridges cardiovascular physiology research with LGBTQIA2S+ health equity advocacy through community-engaged science and inclusive pedagogy. Bachelor of Arts in Biology, Salem State University (2017) Master of Science in Human Physiology, Boston University (2018) PhD in Human Physiology, Boston University (2021) Postdoctoral Fellowship in Cardiovascular Medicine, BU School of Medicine (2021-2023) Research focuses on cardiovascular disease mechanisms in LGBTQIA2S+ communities, examining hypertension and chronic stress through minority stress frameworks while developing exercise interventions. Concurrently, they pioneer inclusive physiology education by restructuring curricula to address structural inequities in STEM, with documented success in reducing classroom stress through alternative assessments and authentic queer teaching presence. Their community-based approach partners with local centers to co-design studies that translate research into tangible health equity outcomes. Recent publications reveal a cohesive trajectory: foundational cardiovascular physiology work (2019-2021) evolved into focused LGBTQIA2S+ health disparities research (2022-2024), now integrating sex/gender research guidelines and inclusive survey methodologies. This progression demonstrates rigorous basic science expertise applied to urgent health equity questions through mixed-methods community partnerships. Dr. Moreira-Bouchard mentors students through the Q.U.E.E.R. Lab's community-engaged framework and teaches courses spanning neuroanatomy to pathophysiology in marginalized populations. Their institutional funding supports curriculum innovation and community-partnered health disparities research, with lab activities emphasizing anti-racism training and open-access knowledge dissemination. The Q.U.E.E.R. Lab operates as a community-academic hybrid space where undergraduate researchers, community health workers, and faculty collaborate on projects from hypertension epidemiology to inclusive pedagogy development. This model extends to national impact through APS leadership and NIH-featured work, while maintaining local roots in Boston's LGBTQIA2S+ centers.

Dr. Amy Justice is the Peter N. Herbert Professor of Internal Medicine (General Medicine) and Professor of Public Health (Health Policy) at Yale School of Medicine. She holds primary appointment in the Department of General Internal Medicine with secondary appointments in Biomedical Informatics & Data Science and Health Policy & Management. Dr. Justice is also affiliated with Yale School of Public Health, Yale Cancer Center, and VA Connecticut Healthcare. Dr. Justice earned her BA from Harvard University (1982), MD from Yale University School of Medicine (1988), MSc from University of Pennsylvania Medical School (1994), and PhD from Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania (1996). As a clinical epidemiologist, Dr. Justice has developed multiple large national cohorts based on data from the Veterans Affairs Healthcare System. The centerpiece of her work is the Veterans Aging Cohort Study (VACS), an ongoing longitudinal study of over 170,000 United States veterans with and without HIV infection that has been continuously funded by NIH since 1996. She has developed and validated widely used clinical indices including the VACS Index for prognosis and the HIV Symptom Index. Her research spans HIV/AIDS epidemiology, aging with HIV, chronic disease management in veterans, and health policy implications for HIV care. Dr. Justice has published over 600 peer-reviewed manuscripts with recent work focusing on alcohol treatment among people with HIV, hepatotoxicity scoring, anemia associations with survival in HIV, multiomic analysis of opioid addiction, liver injury, fatty liver disease identification using NLP, pain genetics, epigenetic markers of aging, and health disparities among marginalized populations with HIV. 2025: John M. Eisenberg National Award for Career Achievement in Research from Society of General Internal Medicine 2022: William S. Middleton Award, the highest honor from Medical Health Broad Portfolio to senior VA biomedical research scientists Dr. Justice advises numerous researchers through the Veterans Aging Cohort Study and has secured continuous NIH funding since 1996. Her work has been presented at the United Nations, International AIDS Society, Royal Medical College in London, the White House, and Congress. She serves on the International Advisory Boards of Lancet HIV and Journal of the International AIDS Society . Dr. Justice leads the Veterans Aging Cohort Study (VACS), which has become a cornerstone resource for HIV research in aging populations. The VACS has enabled groundbreaking studies on the long-term effects of HIV, comorbid conditions in the modern treatment era, and the development of clinical tools that have shaped HIV care guidelines and practices.

Ruth R. Montgomery is a Professor of Medicine and Professor of Epidemiology (Microbial Diseases) at Yale School of Medicine, where she also serves as Associate Dean for Scientific Affairs. She holds a primary appointment in Rheumatology with secondary appointments in Epidemiology of Microbial Diseases and Pathology. Dr. Montgomery is a cellular immunologist with expertise in novel technology for human translational studies, particularly in immune profiling and single-cell mass cytometry. Professor of Medicine, Yale School of Medicine Professor of Epidemiology (Microbial Diseases), Yale School of Medicine Associate Dean for Scientific Affairs Primary Appointment: Rheumatology Secondary Appointments: Epidemiology of Microbial Diseases, Pathology Member, Cancer Immunology Program Member, Human and Translational Immunology Program Member, Yale Center for Research on Aging (Y-Age) Dr. Montgomery's research focuses on effects of aging on innate immunity and individual variation influencing susceptibility to West Nile, dengue, Zika and COVID-19 viruses. She employs systems-wide studies to identify individual differences in immune responses that lead to divergent outcomes to infection, with particular emphasis on inflammatory profiling of patients with sickle cell disease. She has overseen studies of immune responsiveness in human cohorts with successful enrollment of over 2,000 healthy individuals and is notable for her use of primary human cells to demonstrate immune-related mechanisms. Her recent publications demonstrate a strong focus on immune profiling in viral infections, particularly COVID-19, with multiple high-impact papers identifying immune signatures associated with disease severity, mortality, and long-term outcomes. She has pioneered the use of multi-omics approaches to understand individual variation in immune responses. Fellow, American Association for the Advancement of Science (2025) Member, Connecticut Academy of Science and Engineering (2020) Dr. Montgomery launched the CyTOF facility at Yale in 2013, enabling advanced single-cell immune profiling. She has been actively involved in major research initiatives including the IMPACC study on immune responses to SARS-CoV-2. Her work bridges basic immunology with clinical applications, particularly in understanding how aging affects immune responses to viral pathogens. She leads the CyTOF Facility at Yale and is deeply involved with the Yale Center for Research on Aging (Y-Age), where her work on age-related changes in immunity has important implications for understanding susceptibility to infectious diseases in older adults.
