Staff
The EPPIcenter fosters the careers of our staff, and delights in their achievements
Faith De Amaral
Faith is a Berkeley graduate who has recently finished studying avian malaria at San Francisco State. She has a background in environmental science and conservation biology, and has found a passion for parasitology and disease ecology. She is looking forward to working with malaria in the human realm and seeing this science through a new lens
Aaron Elliot
Aaron is a recent graduate from UC Davis with a major in Genetics. He has a background in animal genomics and veterinary genetics and has found excitement and passion in the fridge of parasitology and disease genomics.
Inna Gerlovina
Inna is an Assistant Researcher. She is interested in the application, development, and implementation of statistical methods that contribute to understanding malaria epidemiology and transmission. She holds a PhD in Biostatistics from UC Berkeley where she worked on methods to improve reliability of finite sample inference.
Finterly H
Fin is a bioinformatician. She earned her MS in Bioinformatics from KU Leuven in Belgium. She worked at Maastricht University in the Netherlands before joining EPPIcenter. She is looking forward to exploring and developing tools for global health research
Arefin Keya
Arefin is a bioinformatician with interests in immunological, genomics and transcriptomic data analysis. She received her masters in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology from UC Berkeley. Her undergrad was in Biochemistry and her formative years were spent at biotech industries developing immunotherapies for cancer and auto-immune diseases. At the EPPI center, she wants to explore large/epidemiologic-level infectious disease data and solve problems that are biologically meaningful.
