Biography

Gladymar Perez Chacon is a medically trained public health scientist with expertise in epidemiology, particularly focused on vaccine-preventable diseases. Her PhD research investigated the immunogenicity, reactogenicity, and IgE-mediated immune responses associated with mixed whole-cell and acellular pertussis vaccine schedules in Australian infants. Based in Perth, she has actively contributed to studies on maternal respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) pertussis vaccines, the off-target effects of Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccination, and causal models related to long COVID and catheter-associated bloodstream infections. She is currently conducting large-scale epidemiological studies utilizing linked data to explore missed opportunities in human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination and assess inequities in access to HIV treatment, collaborating with community-based organizations such as the National Association of People with HIV Australia (NAPWHA). Her previous academic position in Medical Parasitology in Venezuela involved conducting research that informed public health guidelines for strongyloidiasis control. Committed to advancing methodologies in epidemiological analysis to optimize vaccination strategies for disease prevention, Gladymar employs R in her daily work and consistently expands her skills, favoring libraries within the core tidyverse.
