Alexis Krumme

Alexis Krumme is an epidemiologist and public health researcher with an interest and expertise in evaluating medication adherence. Her research focuses on exploring ways to identify behaviors that help us predict non-adherence and design effective, timely, and targeted interventions. More broadly, she is interested in ways to leverage underutilized healthcare workers - pharmacists, nurse practitioners, social workers - to understand and improve their role in engaging patients in their health and well-being. She was previously a Research Scientist in the Division of Pharmacoepidemiology and Pharmacoeconomics, a multidisciplinary research group at Brigham and Women's Hospital, and a recent graduate of the doctoral program in Epidemiology at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. She was also a co-investigator for a grant from the PhRMA foundation to evaluate the impact of medication synchronization programs, a pharmacy-based intervention that lines up patients' prescription fill dates, on adherence and cardiovascular outcomes. She is now at Vertex Pharmaceuticals.
