Claire Veronica Broome (born August 24, 1949) is an American epidemiologist, specializing in public health surveillance methodology, who has contributed to the development and effective utilization of key vaccines against bacterial pathogens. ==Biography== Claire Broome was born in Tunbridge Wells, England, on August 24, 1949, the daughter of Heather (Platt), a chemist and technical librarian, and Kenneth R. Broome, a civil engineer. The family emigrated to the United States in 1952, where Claire attended elementary school in La Habra, CA and Marin Catholic High School in Kentfield, CA. She earned a baccalaureate magna cum laude in biochemistry from Harvard University (Cambridge, MA) in 1970, and an MD from Harvard Medical School (Boston, MA) in 1975. Following an internship in Internal Medicine at the University of California, San Francisco (1975–77), she joined the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) as an Epidemic Intelligence Service (EIS) officer (1977–79) and served with the CDC for over 25 years, eventually holding the positions of Deputy Director (1994–99), Acting CDC Director (1998), and Senior Advisor for Integrated Heath Information Systems (2000–06). In 1996 she was elected to the Institute of Medicine. During this period, Dr. Broome served as a chairperson for the World Health Organization (WHO) Steering Committee for Encapsulated Bacteria, which was responsible for funding and implementing a research portfolio on vaccines needed to prevent bacterial meningitis and pneumonia in developing countries (part of the WHO Programme for Vaccine Development, a predecessor of the CVI and GAVI). Beginning in 1999, she led the development and implementation of the National Electronic Disease Surveillance System (NEDSS), a project to transform public health surveillance in the US by obtaining public health relevant clinical lab test results electronically. These systems use the same standards which have been endorsed for clinical Electronic Health records; the majority of states in the country are now implementing one or more NEDSS functions. She also served as CDC's participant in national public private consortia to accelerate standards based Electronic Health Records. Broome has served as an advisor to the World health Organization, World bank, Global Alliance on Vaccines and Immunization (GAVI), Burroughs Wellcome Fund, Wellcome Trust; Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation; US FDA (formerly member, Vaccines and Related Biologicals Advisory Committee); Institute of Medicine (member, Board on Global Health); US AID (Consultative Group on Vaccine development, Children's Vaccine Initiative Project). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Claire V.
