Dr. Carla V. Rodriguez received her PhD in Epidemiology from the University of Washington School of Public Health and Community Medicine and her MPH from the Mailman School of Public Health at Columbia University. Her research focus has been in infectious disease surveillance, including over 11 years at the health departments of New York City, San Francisco and Seattle-King County. Over the last two years, Dr. Rodriguez served as a statistician at the University of Washington’s Center for AIDS Research, focusing on the use of novel analytical methods, including spatial, hierarchical/longitudinal, time-series/forecasting, survival, and missing data analysis, case-cohort designs, competing-risks, marginal structural models and test accuracy.
Dr. Rodriguez is excited to join the MAPRI team and engage in Hepatitis, HIV, Infectious Disease and Vaccine Research that will improve surveillance and patient care.
