Background

About Hazel Clothier

With over 25 years of experience in infectious disease epidemiology, vaccinology, and public health surveillance, I specialize in vaccine safety, outbreak management, and health informatics. My work sits at the intersection of epidemiology and big data, leveraging advanced analytics to strengthen vaccine safety assessments and enhance global surveillance. I have led multi-country research on vaccine vigilance, shaping evidence-based immunisation policies and expanding surveillance across diverse populations. My contributions are deeply rooted in pandemic preparedness and emerging infectious diseases, reinforced by hands-on experience in public health surveillance and outbreak response. I have played a key role in the design and evaluation of infectious disease surveillance systems, ensuring data integrity and accuracy in complex public health settings. I am committed to advancing epidemiology, mentoring future researchers, and driving impactful health policy to protect and improve population health worldwide.
