Váleri N. Vásquez

I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of International Health and the Institute for Planetary Health at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. I completed my postdoctoral training at Stanford University, with appointments in the Department of Biology (Dr. Erin Mordecai) and the Center for International Security and Cooperation (Dr. Marc Lipsitch). I received my PhD from the University of California Berkeley, where I conducted my interdisciplinary research in collaboration with the Divisions of Epidemiology and Biostatistics in the School of Public Health (dissertation: Modeling and Optimization for Climate-Aware Genetic Biocontrol in Public Health). I hold one MS in Energy and Resources with a focus on environmental economics and a second MS in Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences with a focus on biosystems and computational biology, both from UC Berkeley. My BA is from the College of William and Mary.
