Short biography
I hold the position of ICREA Professor and Head of the Health Impact Assessment and Evaluation (HIAE) Group at ISGlobal. I earned both an MSc and a PhD in Public Health from the Institute of Collective Health in Salvador (Brazil), a Diploma in Tropical Biomedicine from the Antwerp Institute of Tropical Medicine (Belgium), training in mathematical modeling at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (UK), and a Degree in Pharmaceutical Biotechnologies from the University of Milan.
For more than two decades, I have been dedicated to public health, with a focus on vulnerable populations in Latin America and Sub-Saharan Africa. My work has ranged from field epidemiology during humanitarian emergencies to academic research evaluating the health impacts of public policies.
