E.N. (Erin) Frame

Erin joins Erasmus MC as a postdoctoral researcher jointly appointed with GGD Rotterdam-Rijnmond as part of the Pandemic and Disaster Preparedness Center on the Frontrunner 5: Integrated early-warning surveillance methods and tools. In this role she will integrate disparate and novel sources of disease information including wastewater metagenomic sequence data, syndromic surveillance, and social media signals into real-time, actionable alerts for public health experts. 

Previously, Erin held a postdoctoral research position at Harvard Medical Center / Boston Children’s Hospital where she focused on the role of misinformation and mistrust in perpetuating outbreaks and infectious diseases and capitalized on novel data sources.

Prior to her most recent tenure, she obtained a PhD in Global Health Metrics and Implementation Science (Metrics Track) from the University of Washington in Seattle, USA where she focused on geospatial mapping of diseases of pandemic potential, outbreak analytics, and COVID-19 response efforts as part of the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation.

Previously, Erin worked at the US Centers for Disease Control in the Center for Global Health, focusing on health in humanitarian crises and outbreak response. She additionally holds an MPH in biostatistics, a BS in Biology and a BS in French.
