Autorinformation
Chris Chanyasulkit, PhD, MPH, is an Executive Board member of the American Public Health Association (APHA) and previously served as a gubernatorial appointee to both the Massachusetts Asian American Commission and the Commission on the Status of Women. In that capacity, she advocated for the needs of Asian Americans and women throughout the Commonwealth. Dr. Chanyasulkit co-edited the books HIV/AIDS Treatment in Resource Poor Countries: Public Health Challenges and the Handbook of Global Tuberculosis Control: Practices and Challenges, and served as managing editor for the book Emerging Infections in Asia (all published with Springer). She is grounded in a strong belief in eliminating the structural barriers to equity for vulnerable populations. This belief has informed her extensive work in national, state, and local levels of public health, health care, public policy, government relations, and the higher education field.
