Biography

Anita Heywood is an Associate Professor in the School of Population Health at the University of New South Wales, specializing in infectious disease epidemiology. Her research primarily focuses on vaccine-preventable diseases and the evaluation of immunization programs. Anita uses quantitative epidemiological data to identify risks associated with vaccine uptake in at-risk populations. She is particularly interested in the travel-associated infectious disease risks faced by migrants and refugees, as well as identifying immunization gaps among international travelers. With a strong background in clinical and behavioral epidemiological research, her work often employs mixed methods approaches to understand the complexities of immunization disparities. She is involved in HDR supervision and is open to future PhD students interested in epidemiological projects, particularly those requiring strong quantitative skills.
