Infectious Disease Clinical Research Program, USUHS
Kat Schmidt is a former (but never reformed) parasitologist, currently working as a biostatistician at the Infectious Disease Clinical Research Program at the Henry M. Jackson Foundation (HJF). She is broadly interested in using data-driven approaches to solve pressing public health issues, especially in infectious disease research. Prior to working at HJF, she received the Michael Milken Public Health Scholar Award from George Washington University, where she completed her MPH in biostatistics (May 2022). She earned her B.S. from the University of Puget Sound (Tacoma, WA), and worked at the Oregon Health and Science University studying parasitic protozoa, before making the transition to biostatistics.
