Her research focuses on applying statistical and economic methods to evaluate healthcare interventions and disease burden, with particular emphasis on infectious diseases and vaccination programs.
Educational Background:
- Bachelor's in Health Economics (B.Sc.) from University of Bayreuth, where her thesis examined cost-effectiveness of malaria prevention using vaccines
- Master's in Health Economics (M.Sc.) from University of Bayreuth, with thesis on health economic effects of pharmaceutical innovations for Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease
- Currently pursuing a master's degree in Statistical Sciences at Bielefeld University
Research Interests: Steinmann's work centers on economic aspects of vaccinations and infectious diseases, employing decision-analytical modeling techniques to evaluate healthcare interventions. She specializes in health services research with routine statutory health insurance data, particularly examining disease burden for conditions like herpes zoster and Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV). Her research also encompasses HTA and pharmacoeconomics, with applications to healthcare policy and decision-making.
Publication Trends: Analysis of her recent publications reveals a strong methodological focus on correcting misclassification in health administrative claims data, with significant contributions to infectious disease modeling. Her work demonstrates expertise in statistical approaches for evaluating disease burden, particularly for herpes zoster and RSV in patients with underlying conditions. A consistent theme across her publications is the application of advanced statistical methods to real-world healthcare data to inform public health decision-making.
Professional Engagement:
- Member of the MONID Consortium - Modeling Network for Severe Infectious Diseases
Professional Experience: Since December 2019, Steinmann has worked as a research assistant at the Chair of Health Economics and Health Management. Prior to this, during her master's studies, she worked as a research assistant at the Institute for Medical Management and Health Sciences at the University of Bayreuth. She has also gained practical experience in hospital controlling, corporate health management, and market access for therapeutics and vaccines.
