Biography
Roger Ying, MD, MS is a Research Physician with HJF Global Infectious Diseases supporting the U.S. Military HIV Research Program at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research. Dr. Ying also practices as a Hospitalist at NYU Langone Hospital where he is a Clinical Assistant Professor in the Department of Medicine.
Dr. Ying received his undergraduate degree in bioengineering from the University of Washington, and his medical degree from Weill Cornell Medical College. He completed a residency in internal medicine at Yale New Haven Hospital, followed by a research fellowship at NYU studying health economics. He also obtained a MS in Biomedical Informatics at the NYU Grossman School of Medicine studying generative artificial intelligence for clinical operations.
Dr. Ying has conducted research in mathematical modeling of infectious disease epidemiology and transmission dynamics. He has published on the cost-effectiveness of HIV testing and treatment strategies in Uganda and South Africa with academic and governmental partners. He previously received a Whitaker International Fellowship to study the health economics of HIV treatment and prevention strategies with the UNAIDS.
