Jiye Kwon, MPH

Jiye Kwon is a doctoral candidate in the Department of Epidemiology of Microbial Diseases. She bridges pathogen genomics and transmission modeling to inform evidence-based intervention strategies for enteric and respiratory diseases. In the Pitzer-Weinberger Lab, she integrates genomic and epidemiological data to inform vaccine evaluation and update decisions for rotavirus, SARS-CoV-2, and respiratory syncytial virus. Her expertise spans the emergence of resistance, evaluation of vaccine effectiveness, and real-time assessment of population-level protection, contributing to more responsive intervention strategies globally.

Prior to her doctoral studies, Jiye earned her MPH from Yale and conducted research on antimicrobial resistance mitigation in the Pettigrew Lab, including work with the Antibacterial Resistance Leadership Group (ARLG).
