Pam Murnane is an Assistant Professor in the department of Epidemiology & Biostatistics at UCSF. Her research focusses on biological, behavioral, and structural factors that influence maternal and child health outcomes in the context of HIV in resource limited settings. She has expertise in epidemiologic methods, adherence measurement, risk prediction, and implementation science.

My research is focused on measurement and on quality. Most of my work is on maternal health, family planning, and abortion services in low- and middle-income countries.

In India and Kenya my colleagues and I are working to first develop a measure for person-centered quality, and then to implement rapid quality improvement cycles in multiple hospitals, working with the hospital managers, clinicians, staff, and patients to identify quality shortcomings, causes, and to brainstorm and implement solutions.

I am the Medical Director of the California STI/HIV Prevention Training Center at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF), an Assistant Professor of Medicine in the UCSF Division of Infectious Diseases, and a Public Health Medical Officer in the STD Control Branch at the California Department of Public Health. I am board-certified in both Internal Medicine and Infectious Diseases and attend on the inpatient Infectious Diseases consult service at UCSF. My research and public health interests include HIV/STI prevention and control, and real-world implementation of HIV PrEP.
