Coffee & Convos offers students and public health professionals an opportunity to connect and network.

Professionals share information about their organization and experiences to help students explore work environments, industries, and public health career paths over coffee.

 

At this next event, Scarlett Bellamy, ScD, Professor of Epidemiology and Biostatistics and Associate Dean for Diversity and Inclusion at Dornsife, will discuss her career path.

 

Bellamy joined Dornsife faculty after spending 15 years at Penn. A graduate of Hampton and Harvard Universities, her research interests include evaluating intervention efficacy of longitudinal behavioral modification trails, including cluster- and group-randomized trials. She is particularly interested in applying this methodology to trials addressing health disparities for a variety of clinical and behavioral outcomes.

Currently, her collaborative projects include behavioral and clinical studies in HIV/AIDS, incentive-based behavioral modification interventions to improve cardiovascular health and outcomes to increase health-promoting behaviors.

She is co-PI of the Data Coordinating Center for the Prematurity and Respiratory Outcomes Program (PROP) whose long-term goal is to improve respiratory outcomes during the first year of life after preterm birth in a cohort of extremely pre-term infants and is the PI of an NIGMS-funded workshop grant entitled “Fostering Diversity in Biostatistics” at ENAR.

Bellamy serves as a statistical collaborator for the Philadelphia Veteran Affairs Medical Center’s, Center for Health Equity Research and Promotion. She is a Fellow of the American Statistical Association and the 2017 President of the Eastern North American Region of the International Biometrics Society.
