Parinita Bhattacharjee is a Researcher in the Public Health department at Erasmus MC, specializing in HIV/AIDS epidemiology with a geographic focus on sub-Saharan Africa, particularly Kenya. Her work addresses critical gaps in HIV prevention for vulnerable populations including young women sex workers through interdisciplinary public health approaches.
Her research spans HIV/AIDS, infectious disease epidemiology, and global health policy, emphasizing socio-structural barriers like economic dependence and peer education in HIV programming. She investigates how funding interruptions and cultural contexts impact prevention effectiveness among marginalized groups in resource-limited settings.
Recent publications demonstrate her dual focus on qualitative analysis of marginalized populations and quantitative modeling of policy impacts. Her doctoral thesis examines systemic neglect of young women sex workers in Kenya's HIV response, while her collaborative modeling study quantifies consequences of PEPFAR funding cuts across seven African nations, revealing critical linkages between financial support and epidemic control.
