Margaret Lind, PhD

Assistant Professor

Boston University School of Public Health

Epidemiology

PhD, University of Washington School of Public Health
MPH, University of Washington School of Public Health
BS, Western Washington University

Dr. Lind is an Assistant Professor of Infectious Disease Epidemiology at the Boston University School of Public Health. Her research leverages large retrospective data sources and causal inference methods to better understand and reduce the burden of infectious diseases.

Her work integrates statistical and mathematical modeling to evaluate vaccination strategies, non-pharmaceutical interventions, and treatment policies, including the effects of infection and infection treatment on longer-term health outcomes beyond the acute disease period. This work aims to inform public health policy and clinical guidance by improving infectious disease prevention strategies and risk prediction.

She holds both an MPH and PhD in Epidemiology from the University of Washington and completed her postdoctoral training at Yale University.
