Alan Lyles is a professor in both the College of Public Affairs' School of Health and Human Services and School of Public and International Affairs. He is also a fellow of the National Academy of Public Administration. From 2003-13, he served as the Henry A. Rosenberg Professor of Public, Private and Nonprofit Partnerships at the University of Baltimore, and was recently appointed the Henry A.

Lyles' professional interests focuses on pharmaceutical economics and health policy—particularly on (i) policies and practices to improve access to high cost, innovative medicines such as those for hepatitis C (HCV), and (ii) essential medicines. His research examines individual and third-party payors (government programs and private benefits) in the US’ market-based healthcare system and international contrasts with central government systems.
He has served on editorial boards, published and lectured extensively in the United States and abroad. He was visiting chair of pharmacoeconomics (2006) and a Fulbright Senior Specialist twice (2007 and 2011) at the University of Helsinki. (A third Fulbright Specialist project in Spring 2020 was postponed due the pandemic.)
