Biography
Dr. Reynolds obtained his M.D. from McGill University in 1994 and went on to receive specialty certification in Internal Medicine, Medical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases. He completed his M.P.H. in 2002 at Johns Hopkins University while working on an HIV prevention collaboration in Pune, India. He is a senior clinician at NIAID and an associate professor of medicine and epidemiology at Johns Hopkins University. He has worked on collaborative research with colleagues in Uganda since 2003 where he oversees clinical and laboratory research activities for the NIAID International Centers for Excellence in Research (ICER) Program. In addition to providing scientific direction to the ICER program in Uganda, he continues to provide HIV care and treatment at both Rakai Health Sciences Program and at the Infectious Diseases Institute in Kampala.
