Dr. Frerichs is currently Professor in the Department of Epidemiology and Chair of the Faculty Executive Committee at the UCLA School of Public Health. He was the first Chair of Epidemiology when the Department was founded in 1988 (previously a division in a one-department school), and served in that capacity for 13 years, resigning in 2001 to return to the general faculty. He has pioneered the development of microcomputer applications for management oriented epidemiologists and decision-makers in less-developed countries. Included among these applications are rapid surveys and epidemiologic spreadsheet models for focused research. He also has developed HIV sentinel surveillance strategies, now in use in several Asian and South American countries, and evaluated tests for rapid, non-invasive HIV assessment to be used for surveillance and screening purposes.
