Dr. Jumare has a robust background in clinical and public health practice. He worked for several years as an implementer, trainer and clinical advisor in a large HIV/AIDS, TB and Malaria treatment and prevention program in Nigeria. He rose to become the Associate Director for Clinical Services at the Institute of Human Virology Nigeria, a local implementing partner of the University of Maryland’s Institute of Human Virology (IHV-UMB). He facilitated the establishment of viable infrastructure for implementation science research and was involved in studies that explored the role of socio-behavioral and cultural barriers to HIV treatment adherence and access to care in Nigeria.
Dr. Jumare’s current research focuses on the burden, characteristics and pathogenic mechanisms for neurocognitive disorders among HIV/AIDS patients in Nigeria. Key accomplishments of this work include characterizing the phenotype of HIV associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND), in addition to demonstrating a likely role for lymphocyte associated virus, HIV subtype differences and some immune activation markers in HAND pathogenesis.
Dr. Jumare also serves as ‘Academic Advisor’ to the graduate students sponsored through the ‘EPI-Nigeria’ NIH-Fogarty funded training project.
