The Fielding-Miller Lab conducts community-centered research that prioritizes transparency, empathy, and health equity. Our goal is to amplify marginalized voices using rigorous scientific methods. We create evidence that reflects the priorities and lived experiences of marginalized communities and develop interventions that address structural drivers of COVID-19, HIV, and gender-based violence.
