• Current affiliations: Northwestern University, IPHAM, NICO, Center for Global Health
• Prior role: Malaria lead at Institute for Disease Modeling

Research Focus:

Gerardin specializes in malaria transmission modeling and public health intervention optimization. Her work addresses subnational tailoring of malaria strategies, intervention mix analysis for elimination, and ethical modeling practices. She integrates multidisciplinary data (entomology, immunology, demography) into agent-based models to guide policy in resource-limited settings.

Article Trends: Recent publications emphasize subnational malaria intervention prioritization (Guinea, Nigeria), diagnostic performance evaluation, human mobility impacts on transmission, and wastewater surveillance applications for disease modeling.

Leadership Roles:

• Co-chair: American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene symposia
• Member: WHO working groups, Malaria Modeling Consortium
• Advisor: WHO Malaria Multi-Model Comparison initiatives

Education:

• PhD from University of California, San Francisco (2013)
