       Overview 
       Overview
      Rebecca Scherzer, PhD has been the principal research statistician since 2005 on the FRAM study (Fat Redistribution and Metabolic Change in HIV Infection), a large NIH-sponsored cohort study. Prior to joining FRAM, Dr. Scherzer spent several years in the pharmaceutical industry as a senior statistical manager. Dr. Scherzer has co-authored nearly 40 papers on body composition, metabolic changes, and cardiovascular risk in the setting of HIV infection.
