معرفی
Margaret L. Brandeau is the Coleman F. Fung Professor of Engineering at Stanford University's School of Engineering and holds a courtesy Professorship in Medicine at the Stanford University School of Medicine. Her research focuses on applying mathematical and economic models to inform health policy decisions, particularly in HIV/AIDS interventions, drug abuse prevention, and public health resource allocation.
Education: She earned a BS in Mathematics and MS in Operations Research from MIT, and a PhD in Engineering-Economic Systems from Stanford University.
Research Interests: Her work spans cost-effectiveness analysis of healthcare interventions (e.g., HIV testing programs, buprenorphine maintenance), bioterrorism preparedness, hepatitis B control, and optimizing healthcare policies. She has co-edited influential books such as Operations Research and Health Care: A Handbook of Methods and Applications and contributed to NIDA-funded projects on drug abuse and HIV policy modeling.
Awards & Recognition:
- INFORMS President’s Award (society welfare)
- Pierskalla Prize (healthcare management science)
- Presidential Young Investigator Award (NSF)
- Excellence in Pharmacoeconomics Award (ISPOR)
Grants & Leadership: Led four NIDA-funded projects on HIV/drug abuse policy modeling and co-developed a mathematical model assessing opioid use disorder treatments. Active in interdisciplinary teams addressing public health challenges.
Labs & Collaboration: Collaborates across disciplines at Stanford and with institutions like the VA Palo Alto Health Care System to translate analytical research into actionable health policies.
