ABOUT JANINE'S WORK
Janine Jagger, an epidemiologist, is a leader in the design and dissemination of means and strategies to protect health care workers from the transmission of blood-borne diseases. Each year in the United States, more than half a million health care workers are stuck by contaminated needles and other sharp medical devices, resulting in major psychological and physical trauma. In landmark research, Jagger proved that injury risk was related to specific device design features, thereby reorienting the debate about protecting health care workers from changing their behavior to improving the design of the devices they use. In 1985, she and her associates designed some of the first needlestick protective devices recorded by the U.S. Patent Office. In the early 1990s, she developed the Exposure Prevention Information Network (EPINet), which is now used in some 1,500 hospitals. Her research and analyses guide design engineers in their efforts to improve the safety of medical devices. Her surveillance system is employed in countries around the world. As director of the International Health Care Worker Safety Center at the University of Virginia School of Medicine, Jagger is now focusing her attention on applying the lessons learned domestically to increase protection for health care workers in developing countries.

BIOGRAPHY
Janine Jagger received a B.A. (1972) from Moravian College, an M.P.H. (1974) from the University of Pittsburgh, and a Ph.D. (1987) from the University of Virginia. She has been affiliated with the University of Virginia School of Medicine since 1978 and currently serves as Research Professor of Internal Medicine and directs the International Health Care Worker Safety Center. Her honors include the Distinguished Inventor Award (1988) from Intellectual Property Owners, the President’s Award (1989) from the American Academy of Pediatrics, the Henderson Inventor of the Year Award (1996) from the University of Virginia Patent Foundation, and an Excellence in Research Award (1998) from the Association of Operating Room Nurses.

关于简妮的工作
Janine Jagger是一名流行病学家，是设计和传播保护医护人员免受血源性疾病传播的手段和策略的领导者。在美国，每年有超过50万名医护人员被污染的针头和其他尖锐的医疗设备扎伤，造成重大的心理和身体创伤。在具有里程碑意义的研究中，Jagger证明了伤害风险与特定的设备设计特征有关，从而将关于保护医护人员的辩论从改变他们的行为转向改善他们使用的设备的设计。1985年，她和她的同事们设计了美国专利局记录的第一批针刺保护装置的一部分。在20世纪90年代初，她开发了暴露预防信息网络（EPINet），该网络目前已在约1500家医院使用。她的研究和分析指导设计工程师努力提高医疗设备的安全性。她的监测系统在世界各国得到应用。作为弗吉尼亚大学医学院国际医护人员安全中心的主任，Jagger现在将注意力集中在将学到的经验应用于国内，以增加对发展中国家医护人员的保护。

个人简历
珍妮-贾格尔获得莫拉维安学院的学士学位（1972年），匹兹堡大学的公共卫生硕士（1974年），以及弗吉尼亚大学的博士学位（1987年）。自1978年以来，她一直隶属于弗吉尼亚大学医学院，目前担任内科医学研究教授，并指导国际医疗工作者安全中心的工作。她获得的荣誉包括知识产权所有者颁发的杰出发明家奖（1988年）、美国儿科学会颁发的主席奖（1989年）、弗吉尼亚大学专利基金会颁发的亨德森年度发明家奖（1996年）以及手术室护士协会颁发的优秀研究奖（1998年）。
