June's Featured Speaker
Professor Catterina Ferreccio R. MD MPH
Dr. Ferreccio leads a research group, experienced in population-based epidemiological studies of health effects, in particular cancers, associated with chemical exposures (arsenic in drinking water, aflatoxins) and chronic microbiological infections (HPV, Helicobacter pylori, Salmonella typhi). Their field-epidemiology infrastructure includes strong ties with local universities, health systems and international collaborators. The group actively participates in the public health implementation of their findings. They designed and conducted the first National Heath Survey 2003, and the first Chilean population-based large cohort and biobank of chronic diseases, the MAUCO cohort. They run a high impact master program in Epidemiology and recently opened the first Chilean PhD in Epidemiology program, which Dr. Ferreccio directs. Dr. Ferreccio is currently a member of the COVID19 advisory committee for the MoH and the President of Chile.
Publications: 177 peer-reviewed.
