His commitment to clinician education has been honored with the Johns Hopkins Department of Medicine David M. Levine Excellence in Mentoring Award. Dr. Bollinger’s research interests include identifying biological and behavioral risk factors for HIV transmission; characterizing the clinical progression and treatment of HIV and related infections; and implementing science research projects to optimize healthcare capacity and delivery in resource-limited settings. Dr. Bollinger is author of more than 150 peer-reviewed research publications and 15 book chapters, including the first and largest studies of risk factors for HIV transmission in India, the cloning and sequencing of the first HIV viruses from India, the only studies characterizing the primary immune response to HIV in India, and the demonstration of increased risk of HIV acquisition with recent HSV infection and lack of circumcision. He has been invited to participate in public health training programs and expert committees, and has been consulted for his expertise by more than 15 countries. Dr. Bollinger has served as a member of the US Presidential Advisory Council for HIV/AIDS (PACHA) and as a member of the PACHA International Subcommittee, and is a current member of the Institute of Medicine Forum on Public-Private Partnerships for Global Health and Safety.

Dr. Bollinger is committed to improving the health of people living in resource-limited nations through clinical research, education and leadership training. He established and has sustained programs in countries throughout Africa, South and Central America, Southeast Asia and the Middle East. He currently leads the Johns Hopkins team providing technical support to the Medical Education Partnership Initiative (MEPI) in Uganda, where he has worked for more than 15 years. In 1991, Dr. Bollinger initiated an ongoing NIH-funded Indo-US HIV research program in Pune, India, involving the National AIDS Research Institute/ICMR and the BJ Medical College. He has served as principal investigator for many NIH-supported studies and clinical trials in Pune, including the SWEN study, which changed World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines for treatment of infants born to HIV-positive mothers to prevent mother-to-child transmission.
