THESIS
My work encompasses the totality of GRAM’s AMR burden estimation, originating first from the envelope of all infectious deaths, to the quantification of the pathogens responsible for different infectious syndromes, to the prevalence of resistance of bacteria to key antimicrobial therapies (and relative risk of death associated with that resistance). My current focus includes expanding the scope of the project (such as evaluating more pathogens, such as fungi, or including new antimicrobials, such as tetracyclines) and improving the statistical rigor of the project’s estimation methods (such as improving model performance in sparse data settings).
