Sam M. Mbulaiteye is a Ugandan physician-scientist and epidemiologist who researches Burkitt lymphoma. He is a senior investigator at the National Cancer Institute.
Mbulaiteye received physician training at Makerere University (1990) with advanced training in epidemiology and biostatistics (M.Phil.) from the University of Cambridge (1994), and specialist training in internal medicine (M.Med.) from Makerere University (1996). [1] His early research focused on measuring the impact of HIV on cancer in patients at the Uganda Cancer Institute from 1994 and 1997 and investigating population trends of HIV in a general population in rural southwest Uganda while at the Uganda Virus Research Institute and U.K. Medical Research Council HIV program. [1]
In December 2000, Mbulaiteye joined National Cancer Institute's (NCI) infections and immunoepidemiology branch (IIB) to focus his work on KS and Burkitt lymphoma (BL) as a research fellow, and was awarded NIH scientific tenure and appointed senior investigator in 2013. [1] He conducts research to understand the etiology of BL. [1] Mbulaiteye is the co-editor-in-chief of Infectious Agents and Cancer. [1] [2]

Elaine Sarkin Jaffe is a senior National Cancer Institute (NCI) investigator at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) most well known for her contribution to hematopathology. She completed her medical education at Cornell University and the University of Pennsylvania, receiving her M.D. degree from University of Pennsylvania in 1969. After an internship at Georgetown University she joined NCI as a resident in anatomic pathology, and has been a senior investigator since 1974, focusing on the classification and definition of lymphomas. Jaffe's early work helped to provide a deeper understanding of the origin of lymphomas, especially follicular lymphoma. Her team notably elucidated the difference between T cell and B cell lymphomas.
