Bio

Marisa Eisenberg is an assistant professor in Epidemiology and Mathematics at the University of Michigan. She was previously a postdoctoral fellow at the Mathematical Biosciences Institute at the Ohio State University, after receiving her PhD at UCLA in 2009. Her research is focused on developing identifiability and parameter estimation methods and theory, and translating this theory to improve population health. Her research group blends mathematics, statistics, and epidemiology to understand transmission dynamics, guide intervention strategies, improve forecasting, and inform public health policy. A major focus has been in examining cholera and environmentally-driven diseases in a range of settings, as well as more recent work on HPV-related cancers.
