Remembering Emory Research Albert Anderson, MD![]() It is with deep sadness that we share the news of the unexpected death of our research colleague, Dr. Albert (Bert) Anderson, Associate Professor and Senior Physician within the Division of Infectious Diseases. Dr. Anderson’s research focused on the neurobehavioral effects of HIV and other infectious diseases and was considered an Emory Center for AIDS Research (CFAR) success story by those who worked with him. Dr. Anderson was PI on an NIH-funded R01 study entitled, "Phase II study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of baricitinib for reduction of HIV in the central nervous system." Dr. Anderson had a recent publication in the June edition of the Journal of NeuroVirology, Fu R, Jinnah H, Mckay JL, Miller AH, Felger JC, Farber EW, Sharma S, Whicker N, Moore RC, Franklin D, Letendre SL, Anderson AM. Cerebrospinal fluid levels of 5-HIAA and dopamine in people with HIV and depression. J Neurovirol. 2023 Jun 8. Read more Please join us in sending our sincere condolences to Dr. Anderson's wife, son, sister, and mother, as well as his family, friends, and colleagues. Dr. Anderson's contributions to Emory University and the Department of Medicine will not be forgotten. A memorial service/celebration of his life at Emory is planned for later this fall. More details to come.
