Research Profile
Dr Caroline Franco holds a Doctorate in Physics from the Institute of Theoretical Physics - Sao Paulo State University, Masters and Bachelor degrees in Physics from the Sao Carlos Institute of Physics - University of Sao Paulo.
After being awarded her Doctoral degree in 2022, she acted as Postdoctoral Researcher and Teaching Fellow in Modelling for Global Health within the Nuffield Department of Medicine, University of Oxford.
In 2023, Caroline the Institute of Applied Health Sciences in the School of Medicine, Medical Sciences and Nutrition as a Lecturer.
Her research encompasses the use of mathematical models to simulate infectious disease dynamics, aiming primarily to inform health policy making and promote equitable access to health modelling skills.
During the COVID-19 health crisis, she has actively collaborated with the Observatório COVID-19 BR and the COVID-19 Modelling (CoMo) Consortium to develop mathematical models to inform policy making in Brazil and other countries.
