Overview

Henry M. Blumberg, MD is a Professor of Medicine in the Division of Infectious Diseases at the Emory University School of Medicine and Professor of Epidemiology and Global Health at the Emory Rollins School of Public Health. He also serves as Director of Clinical and Translational Research Training Programs at Emory and for the Georgia Clinical and Translational Science Alliance (Georgia CTSA), the NIH-funded Clinical and Translational Science Award. He serves as MPI (contact PI) of the NIH-funded Georgia CTSA KL2 and TL1 grants. Dr. Blumbergs academic interests focus on tuberculosis-related research, global health, and clinical and translational research training.

Dr. Blumbergs TB research and research training activities are focused in the county of Georgia and in Ethiopia. His TB research activities are focused on clinical and translational research. The research training activities are supported by two NIH Fogarty International Center (FIC) Global Infectious Diseases grants that are focused on research training of young investigators in Georgia and Ethiopia and enhancing the TB research capacity and public health infrastructure in Georgia and Ethiopia. These awards build on long-standing collaboration with institutions in Ethiopia and the country of Georgia. Dr. Blumberg also serves as Project Leader/Co-Program Director of the Developmental Core for the NIH-funded P30 Emory/Georgia TB Research Advancement Center (TRAC) grant. He has experience in managing complex scientific research projects and served as MPI for an NIH NIAID Tuberculosis Research Unit (TBRU) U19 grant that has been particularly focused on immunity to M. tuberculosis, and is entitled, Role of antigen-specific T cell responses in the control of TB.

Dr. Blumberg is a Fellow in IDSA and in SHEA. He previously served as the Chair of the IDSA TB Committee and as a member of the IDSA Center for Global Health Policy Scientific Advisory Committee (2008-2016) and the NIH-funded ACTG Tuberculosis Transformative Science Group (TSG) [2011-2017]. He is a member of the Workforce Development Enterprise Committee of the NIH National Center for Advancing Translational Research (NCATS).

Dr. Blumberg is the author or co-author of more than 215 peer reviewed publications.
