Alice Zwerling is an Assistant Professor in the School of Epidemiology and Public Health at the University of Ottawa. As an infectious disease epidemiologist with a special interest in tuberculosis (TB) and a focus on health economics, her main areas of expertise and interest involve cost-effectiveness analyses to guide thoughtful implementation of new tools and treatment regimens for TB both globally and at home in Canada. Dr. Zwerling received her PhD in Epidemiology from 91社区, and specialized in health economics during a postdoctoral fellowship at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. For more than a decade Dr. Zwerling has worked with partners in India, Malawi, Cambodia, Myanmar, Bangladesh, South Africa, and many others to end TB in the developing world. Dr. Zwerling also works with the government of Nunavut to address key questions around TB elimination across the Canadian arctic and Canadian Inuit populations.
