Sonali Advani
Credentials: MBBS, MPH
Position title: Duke KURe Program
Website: Institutional Profile
Dr. Advani’s KURe research project focused on leveraging urinalyses criteria to improve the diagnosis of urinary tract infections (UTIs) in elderly patients. UTIs in older adults pose a diagnostic dilemma to most clinicians. The high incidence of asymptomatic bacteriuria and inability to express genitourinary symptoms increases the risk of inappropriate culturing and adverse events in this group.
Dr. Advani is an Adjunct Associate Professor of Medicine at Duke University School of Medicine. In July 2024, she joined GSK/ViiV Healthcare as a scientific leadership physician with cross functional experience across global medical affairs as well as Research & Development in HIV therapeutics and vaccines.
