Work with thought leaders and academic experts in epidemiology

Companies can greatly benefit from collaborating with academic researchers in the field of Epidemiology. These experts bring a wealth of knowledge and skills that can enhance various aspects of a company's operations. Here are some key ways companies can collaborate with Epidemiology researchers: 1. Research and Data Analysis: Epidemiologists can conduct research studies and analyze data to provide valuable insights into disease patterns, risk factors, and public health trends. This information can help companies make informed decisions and develop effective strategies. 2. Public Health Initiatives: Epidemiologists can contribute to the development and implementation of public health initiatives. They can provide expertise in designing and evaluating interventions, conducting surveillance, and monitoring disease outbreaks. 3. Risk Assessment and Management: Epidemiologists can assess and manage risks related to public health issues. They can identify potential hazards, evaluate the impact of interventions, and develop strategies to mitigate risks. 4. Policy Development: Epidemiologists can inform policy development by providing evidence-based recommendations. They can contribute to the development of guidelines, regulations, and interventions that promote public health and safety. 5. Collaboration and Partnerships: Epidemiologists can collaborate with companies to conduct joint research projects, share data and resources, and exchange knowledge. This collaboration can lead to innovative solutions and advancements in the field of Epidemiology.

About
A postdoctoral research scientist with over 9 years experience in bacterial genomics, microbiology, bioinformatics and antimicrobial resistance research. I’m seeking a Research Scientist or Epidemiologist role at public health genomics laboratories and I am the perfect fit for these roles because I have the following skills: molecular biology, research & development, strategic planning, project management, documentation, outbreak investigation, and cross-functional collaboration skills. I have leveraged my skills to work in a collaborative team-oriented environment to accomplish project goals related to examining the evolution of antimicrobial resistance as evidenced by over 7 national and international collaborations including the New York State Department of Health. I am also a proactive problem-solver adopting innovative and scientific thinking strategies in molecular biology to fulfill project objectives resulting in scientific discoveries including uncovering 1 novel hotspot for the dissemination of resistance in bacteria. I have gained mentorship expertise in promoting data reproducibility, and innovative research methodology in antimicrobial resistance research as evidenced by mentoring 10 professionals on evolutionary genomics, epidemiological statistics, and antimicrobial stewardship. I have also worked collaboratively with a team to apply pathogen genomics, bioinformatics, and leadership skills as demonstrated by working with over 10 highly collaborative teams including the Africa CDC. In addition, I have the following qualifications: Cross-functional collaborator and experience elucidating methods and frequencies of horizontal gene transfer and antimicrobial resistance spread in bacterial species, as demonstrated by 26 peer-reviewed publications including 1 in Nature Microbiology. Experience in leading and managing project details and tasks as evidenced by over 20 projects in pathogen genomics, epidemiology, antimicrobial resistance surveillance, and global health. Astute communication skills in bacterial epidemiology and antimicrobial resistance research resulting in 20 presentations and 6 travel awards to deliver such presentations, including the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. I want to serve an organization that prizes community, collaboration and humility among its employees. I’m excited to be on a team built around impact, innovation and a strong, positive reputation. I know I will thrive at a company where responsibility is valued, as well as self-improvement and time-management. I want to be a part of an organization that infuses growth into their brand, culture and market and who I can help make a difference in the world.

Example epidemiology projects

How can companies collaborate more effectively with researchers, experts, and thought leaders to make progress on epidemiology?

COVID-19 Response and Preparedness

An Epidemiology expert can help companies develop strategies to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. They can provide guidance on testing protocols, contact tracing, and vaccine distribution. By collaborating with an Epidemiologist, companies can ensure the safety of their employees and customers.

Healthcare Data Analysis

Epidemiologists can analyze healthcare data to identify patterns and trends. This analysis can help companies improve healthcare delivery, optimize resource allocation, and identify areas for improvement. By working with an Epidemiology researcher, companies can make data-driven decisions and enhance patient outcomes.

Environmental Risk Assessment

Companies operating in industries with potential environmental risks can benefit from collaborating with Epidemiologists. These experts can assess the impact of pollutants, evaluate exposure risks, and develop strategies to mitigate environmental health hazards. By partnering with an Epidemiology researcher, companies can ensure compliance with regulations and protect public health.

Outbreak Investigation and Response

During disease outbreaks, companies can collaborate with Epidemiologists to investigate the source of the outbreak, track its spread, and implement control measures. This collaboration can help companies minimize the impact of outbreaks, protect their workforce, and maintain business continuity.

Health Promotion and Disease Prevention

Epidemiologists can assist companies in designing and implementing health promotion programs and disease prevention strategies. By leveraging the expertise of Epidemiology researchers, companies can improve employee wellness, reduce healthcare costs, and enhance productivity.
