Landon Myer - Epidemiology

Author Information

Dr. Landon Myer is a distinguished epidemiologist affiliated with the Division of Epidemiology and Biostatistics at the School of Public Health and Family Medicine, Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Cape Town in South Africa. With a career deeply rooted in public health, Dr. Myer’s work primarily focuses on HIV research, particularly concerning maternal and child health in sub-Saharan Africa.

Research Contributions

Dr. Myer has made significant contributions to the field of epidemiology, with a particular emphasis on HIV prevention and treatment. His recent work in 2022 includes studies on the initiation and continuation of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) among pregnant and postpartum women, barriers to PrEP adherence, and the impact of antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence on viral suppression in adolescents. Additionally, Dr. Myer has investigated the transfer of patients on ART in primary health care settings, the impact of sexually transmitted infection screening during pregnancy on outcomes, and the growth patterns of infants exposed to HIV and antiretroviral drugs. His research not only advances scientific knowledge but also has practical implications for improving HIV care and prevention strategies in resource-limited settings.
