Mya Roberson is an Assistant Professor in the department of Health Policy at the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine. Her broad research interests are in applying epidemiologic methods to health policy and health services research to promote health equity using big data. She is specifically interested in equity in cancer care delivery for Black people in the US South. Dr. Roberson has experience working in cancer registries, claims data, national healthcare databases and electronic health records, along with expertise in health disparities, health equity and social epidemiology theory.

Dr. Roberson earned her MSPH and PhD degrees in the field of epidemiology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Gillings School of Global Public Health. While at UNC she was a Truman Scholar and Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Health Policy Research Scholar.

Dr. Castilho is a physician-scientist in infectious diseases with a concentration in aging-related outcomes in adults with HIV. Her research uses epidemiologic and translational methods to explain the increased rate of aging-related morbidities experienced by people with HIV (PWH) and to identify immunologic, behavioral, and reversible mechanisms driving these differences in outcomes. Dr. Castilho uses her training in epidemiology, biostatistics, and clinical medicine to uncover population trends, dissect outcome differences, and discover novel biomarkers. Dr. Castilho is currently supported by a K23 award from National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases that examines the effects of aging and HIV infection on immune senescence and aging syndromes through the creation of a prospective cohort of older adults with and without HIV. She has led local, national, and international observational cohort studies to examine aging and non-communicable disease (NCD) outcomes in PWH.
