Miriam Nuño

Miriam Nuño, Ph.D., is an Associate Professor in the Department of Public Health Sciences at the University of California, Davis. Her research focuses on comparative effectiveness research in cancer, causal inference methods, and applying mathematical models to observational data for predicting patient outcomes. She holds a Ph.D. in Biological Statistics and Computational Biology from Cornell University (2005).

Dr. Nuño’s work bridges epidemiological analysis with healthcare policy, particularly in addressing health equity through initiatives like wastewater-based disease surveillance and community engagement in pandemic response. Her recent studies include modeling SARS-CoV-2 transmission dynamics, optimizing healthcare resource allocation in nursing homes, and evaluating disparities in palliative care utilization for chronic conditions.

Her publications span topics such as post-surgical outcomes analysis, pediatric trauma epidemiology, and the impact of public health interventions on marginalized populations. Dr. Nuño collaborates extensively with institutions like the RADx-UP Consortium and the Public Health Agency of Canada to advance equitable public health strategies.
