Background
Jason joined Burnet Institute after eight years of working in HIV community-based prevention and support in both Toronto and Melbourne.
Building on this experience, Jason joined the Burnet in 2013 to lead the national coordination of the COUNT study, which investigated the prevalence of undiagnosed HIV among gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men (GBM) in Australian cities.
Since then, he has developed expertise in the working with surveillance data and now manages the ACCESS project, a national sentinel surveillance system of clinical services and laboratories, monitoring bloodborne viruses and sexually transmitted infections.
Jason has an interest in HIV epidemiology among GBM and the use of surveillance data to monitor and evaluate new interventions.
