Daniel Fierer, MD

Biography

Dr. Fierer received his medical degree from Yale University and his Infectious Diseases training at the National Institutes of Health. In 2006, he and his team at Mount Sinai uncovered the epidemic of HCV infection among men who have sex with men with HIV in New York City. Since then, his team has been working to characterize the early events of HCV infection, including the routes of transmission, rapid onset of liver disease, and enhanced treatment responsiveness, as well as to more accurately define the epidemiology of HCV among men who have sex with men, including the expansion of the epidemic into those using preexposure prophylaxis to prevent HIV infection.
