Gregory Phillip's research focuses on using complex epidemiological data and community-based evaluations to identify, describe, and address health disparities in marginalized minority populations. His current work includes using multi-level network and contextual data to understand the spread of infectious diseases, using national surveillance data to pinpoint patterns of health risk and substance use behaviors among LGBT youth, and supporting local community organizations working to reduce the burden of HIV among historically underserved populations.
