Associate Professor of Global Health and Social Medicine, Harvard Medical School
PIVOT

Matthew Bonds has a PhD in economics and a PhD in (disease) ecology from the University of Georgia. He is an associate professor of global health and social medicine at Harvard Medical School, and co-founder & scientific director of PIVOT. His research focuses on 1) the ecology of poverty and economic development; and 2) the science of implementing global health delivery systems. PIVOT works with the Madagascar government to establish a district level model health system for over 200,000 people. With novel data systems at all levels of care (community, primary and secondary care), this partnership is pioneering a new a science of health system transformation, with some of the most rigorously evaluated population level impacts in the world. His work has been supported by a K01 Award from the NIH Fogarty International Center, a Scholar Award in Complex Systems Science from the James S. McDonnell Foundation, and a Rainer Arnhold Fellowship from the Mulago Foundation.

Combining science and social justice, we are advancing an understanding of the ecology of poverty, and strengthening large-scale health service delivery programs to disrupt cycles of poverty and disease (www.bondslab.com).
