Burke was the longest serving dean in the history of the school (2006-19). He is also the former associate vice chancellor for global health and director of the Center for Vaccine Research.[2]

Burke is one of the world's foremost experts on the prevention, diagnosis, and control of emerging infectious diseases and infectious diseases of global concern, especially HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis A, and avian influenza. His research has spanned a wide range of scientific activities, including development of new diagnostics, field studies, clinical vaccine trials, computational modelling of epidemic control strategies, and health policy analysis.[3]

Before coming to Pittsburgh, Burke was Professor of International Health and Professor of Epidemiology at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, and Professor of Medicine at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. He was previously involved in infectious diseases research for several U.S. government agencies, retiring from the U.S. Army Medical Corps as a Colonel after 23 years of service. He has lectured widely on the history of microbiology and vaccines.[2]
