Dr. Peter Gilbert, Professor of Biostatistics at the Fred Hutch and
University of Washington Department of Biostatistics, focuses on the design and analysis of clinical trials of
candidate vaccines for HIV, COVID-19 and other infectious diseases. He specializes in statistical methods and
data analyses of these trials to understand how vaccine efficacy depends on immune responses to vaccination and
on genetic features of infectious pathogens, so-called sieve analysis. He is PI of the Statistical Center for
the NIAID HIV Vaccine Trials Network, and plays a similar role for US Government supported Coronavirus
Prevention Network COVID vaccine efficacy trials.
