Mariam Fofana
Overview
I am an emergency physician and epidemiologist with a primary research interest in addressing infectious disease threats of global health significance. I also have a special interest in quantitative epidemiologic methods including mathematical modeling. My PhD Work focused on estimating the population-level impact of treatment for drug-sensitive and drug-resistant tuberculosis. More recently, I have been focusing on the development of immune responses to SARS-CoV-2 and developing tools to estimate incidence using serological data.
