I have studied engineering and economics firstly in Chile and hold an MSc in Health Economics from UCL and a PhD(c) in Infectious Diseases from LSHTM. My primary area of work is understanding the transmission of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) bacteria in low and middle-income countries. Specifically, how populations' socioeconomic, environmental, spatial, and anthropological characteristics affect their transmission and further attributed burden and economic costs followed after infection. I have interests in infectious disease epidemiology and global health threats that comprise public policies' appropriate and rapid design. I am currently involved in different health projects involving Sub-saharan Africa, Eastern and Western Europe, and Latin America focusing on AMR, TB, early childhood development and malnutrition, Zika virus, HIV, COVID-19, rabies, life-course epidemiology, and healthy ageing.
