Senior🎓
Top SchoolAnna Roca is an ICREA Research Professor and Professor of Epidemiology with nearly two decades of field experience in Africa, specializing in bacterial and viral pathogen surveillance, diagnosis, clinical trials and evaluation of public health interventions. She combines rigorous epidemiological training (PhD, MSc) with practical program leadership at the MRC Unit The Gambia and ISGlobal, focusing on determinants of infection and transmission pathways across diverse multidisciplinary teams. A prolific researcher with over 150 peer-reviewed publications including first and last authorships, she translates complex study designs into actionable insights to impact disease control. Her work bridges academic rigor and operational public health, informed by long-term in-country experience and leadership of MRC programmatic themes.
