Ben Arnold is an Associate Professor at UCSF’s F.I. Proctor Foundation. His NIH-funded research focuses on “seroepidemiology”: the use of antibodies in blood to measure infectious disease transmission (with a particular focus on trachoma elimination and enteric pathogens). His research also focuses on methodologic questions in areas of applied statistics, clinical trial design, and causal inference. Ben heads Proctor’s Data Coordinating Center and supports faculty throughout Proctor in the design and analysis of over 20 ongoing randomized controlled trials, principally in Africa and Asia. He completed his training in environmental and evolutionary biology (AB, Dartmouth College), biostatistics (MA, University of California, Berkeley) and epidemiology (PhD, University of California, Berkeley).
