Dr. Burrowes conducts both qualitative and quantitative analysis across a breadth of topics including HIV/AIDS, cardiovascular disease and risk factors, chronic pain with a focus on migraine, antibiotic prescribing. Her current research focus has been on infectious diseases with an emphasis on health in the Caribbean, minority and immigrant communities in the US.

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility

Given my lived experiences as a Black female immigrant from the Caribbean, equity and inclusivity are guiding principles in my life and my research. My overall research goals are centered on addressing inequitable access to and receipt of healthcare in racial and ethnic minorities-with a special focus on antibiotic use and clinical outcomes in the Latin/American Caribbean immigrant community. Given differences in social and cultural norms and barriers to care particularly for those with tenuous immigration status many immigrants either go without care or use alternative sources which may lead to worse outcomes. My research examines barriers to care and methods to engage members of the community to understand their needs and develop feasible interventions to address identified gaps in their healthcare.

As a first generation college student, who immigrated to the US to attend a predominantly white institution-I am acutely aware of the importance of great teachers and mentors to success. Although I have been lucky to have great mentors throughout my academic career, there has always been a noticeable absence of of Black people and in particular Black women in STEM. I believe it is imperative for academia to improve the recruitment and retention of diverse students in STEM and to do so there must be diverse faculty to provide mentorship and support. As a new junior faculty member, I hope to create a space that is welcoming and supportive to provide mentorship to students from historically underrepresented groups.
