Gizem S. Nemutlu

Gizem S. Nemutlu is Assistant Professor of Data Analytics at Brandeis International Business School and a research affiliate at Massachusetts General Hospital’s Institute for Technology Assessment. Trained in stochastic modelling and health economics, she applies operations-research methods to cancer-surveillance policy and immunisation programmes.

Education:

• Ph.D. in Management Sciences, University of Waterloo, Canada
• B.S. in Statistics, Hacettepe University, Turkey

Research Interests: Her work integrates stochastic modelling, data-driven optimisation and health-economic evaluation to inform policy design in immunisation and cancer surveillance. Recent projects quantify cost-effectiveness of risk-stratified hepatocellular-carcinoma surveillance, evaluate HPV-related cancer trends, and forecast global breast-cancer control trajectories toward 2030 SDG targets.

Publication Trends: Across 16 peer-reviewed works (2013-2025) she consistently employs Markov and decision-process models to compare surveillance strategies for liver, anal and colorectal cancers, assess biomarker-based screening, and measure population-level impacts of HPV vaccination. Studies appear in high-impact oncology and health-policy venues.

Scientific Awards: None disclosed in supplied materials.

Advising & Grants: No students or funded-grant details are provided in the source text.

Labs & Teams: She collaborates with the Institute for Technology Assessment at Mass General Hospital, indicating ongoing interdisciplinary teamwork in health technology assessment and economic evaluation.
