A physician scientist who is internationally renowned for his contributions to immunology, infectious diseases, translational research and global health, Dr. Andrade joins Johns Hopkins from his current positions as Senior Investigator and Chief of the Laboratory of Clinical and Translational Research at the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation in Salvador, Brazil, one of the world’s leading biomedical research institutions, as Dean of Research and International Affairs at Clariens Educação, and as Scientific Director of MONSTER Research Institute, which is dedicated to nurturing young scientists from low- and middle-income countries and advocating for vulnerable populations including indigenous, homeless, and incarcerated communities.
Dr. Andrade brings to the division extensive expertise in global health, data science, artificial intelligence, and precision medicine. He will work closely with Department of Medicine’s data science/AI efforts to incorporate cutting-edge machine learning and AI applications in medicine and will enhance the division’s portfolio of clinical and translational research through developing and employing predictive analytics to improve patient outcomes related to tuberculosis, HIV, antimicrobial resistance, and emerging infections. He is also eager to enhance connections across Medicine, Public Health, and Engineering for multi-departmental efforts that leverage data science initiatives and AI advancement across Johns Hopkins in support of the School of Medicine’s clinical and translational research goals.
Dr. Andrade’s extensive networks in Brazil, throughout Latin America, and globally are an excellent complement to JHU’s existing bi- and multi-lateral research initiatives and offer opportunities for global collaboration and exchange programs for faculty and students alike.
