Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Nicole Thornton's research focuses on public health interventions and the study of blood group antigens. Her work has investigated HIV and sexually transmitted infection (STI) transmission dynamics, particularly among urban Black gay and bisexual men. This includes studies on the association of methamphetamine use, syphilis, and online sex partner meeting venues with HIV status, as well as the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on STI transmission dynamics within this population.

Thornton has also been involved in evaluating interventions such as the "Safe Spaces 4 Sexual Health" program, a mobile van initiative using online outreach for HIV/STI testing among men who have sex with men (MSM) at high risk for HIV acquisition or transmission. Her research also extends to understanding psychological distress and adherence to antiretroviral therapy or pre-exposure prophylaxis regimens among urban Black gay and bisexual men.

In addition to public health, Thornton has contributed to the field of blood group genetics. Her publications include reports on updates to blood group systems by the International Society of Blood Transfusion, investigations into missense mutations defining red blood cell antigens, and the identification of gene deletions resulting in rare blood group phenotypes.
