Caroline Sabin, PhD

Over the past 30 years I have undertaken world-leading research to document the changing global landscape of HIV since the introduction of combination antiretroviral therapy. I am a strong advocate of the use of evidence to support the management of people with HIV, and work closely with key stakeholders, including the British HIV Association (BHIVA) to conduct research that will directly influence patient care.  I was the principal investigator of the UK Collaborative HIV Cohort (UK CHIC) Study, one of the largest clinical cohorts of people with HIV with linked genotypic data worldwide, and the principal statistician on the D:A:D study, that investigated associations between antiretroviral therapy and comorbidities, including cardiovascular disease.  More recently, together with Professor Alan Winston, I initiated the Pharmacological and clinical Observations among PeoPle over fiftY (POPPY) Study, which has challenged the current mantra that people with HIV experience an accelerated ageing process.  I have authored >700 original research publications and am the co-editor-in-Chief of HIV Medicine.  I have been a Fellow of the Academy of Medical Sciences since 2022 and an NIHR Senior investigator (now Emeritus) since 2015.
