Maria  Garcia Quesada

Doctoral Stud-Add'l Assgnmt/BW

I am an Epidemiology PhD candidate with experience in infectious disease epidemiology and vaccine impact research. My dissertation focuses on using epidemiologic methods, simulations, and mathematical modeling to advance the evaluation of enteric vaccines across the development pipeline. 

Prior to starting at Emory, I completed my bachelor's degree at Tulane University in Public Health and Neuroscience and then worked at Epic, an electronic health record software company. I completed my MSPH in Global Disease Epidemiology and Control at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and then worked at the International Vaccine Access Center, primarily supporting a WHO study aiming to assess the global impact of pneumococcal conjugate vaccines on invasive pneumococcal disease.
