Kemble, MD, oversees surveillance and response for a wide variety of communicable diseases as a Medical Director in the Communicable Diseases Program at the Chicago Department of Public Health. She led public health response efforts and directed evaluation strategies for the CDPH mass vaccination campaign during an outbreak of meningococcal meningitis among men who have sex with men (MSM) in Chicago during 2015–2016, with a focus on using data in real time to overcome inequities in access to care. Kemble has also participated in CDPH and Chicago Prevention and Intervention Epi-Center (C-PIE) collaborative projects including an agent-based model of Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) transmission, studies on optimal implementation strategies for chlorhexidine gluconate bathing as an infection control measure, and Chicago PROTECT, a regional demonstration project to reduce transmission of multi-drug resistant organisms in high-risk healthcare settings.
