Join us this Friday for a special chat with alumna Natalie Dean, Assistant Professor of Biostatistics at the University of Florida. She researches methods for infectious disease epidemiology, with a particular focus on emerging pathogens and study design. She is Principal Investigator on an NIH/NIAID R01 to design innovative strategies for evaluating vaccines during outbreaks. Natalie will also talk about her experiences doing collaborative research on Ebola, Zika, and now COVID-19. Natalie has made recent appearances on CNN, BBC, and will join a panel at the Marvin Zelen Symposium this week, regarding her work and expertise in areas now critical to the COVID-19 pandemic.
We will get a chance to talk informally with Natalie about her former studies, job search process, career trajectory and insights, the juggle of personal life and work, and keeping it all in balance during this fast-paced time in world research! Natalie completed her dissertation ‘Surveillance Methods for Monitoring HIV Incidence and Drug Resistance’ with Marcello Pagano.
