Elizabeth Mitgang joined the Global Obesity Prevention Center in July 2017 to conduct her thesis research on EVD (Ebola Virus Disease) vaccine delivery in Liberia in fulfillment of her Master of Science degree from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine where she studied Control of Infectious Diseases.
At the GOPC, Elizabeth works with the systems science core to develop novel, cost-effective approaches to improving vaccine access in developing settings. Her project portfolio is centered on coordinating the HERMES (Highly Extensible Resource for Modeling Event-Driven Supply Chains) and SIGMA Immunization (Strategic Integrated Geo-temporal Mapping Application) applications.
