Sophie Huddart, PhD
Assistant Professor
Epidemiology & Biostatistics
School of Medicine

I'm a TB epidemiologist and Assistant Professor within the Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics and the Institute for Global Health Sciences. I'm interested in TB quality of care, especially how it influences the long-term outcomes of TB patients post-treatment. I also enjoy exploring how advanced analytic techniques and simulation can address scarce data issues in global health.
