Clara R. Burgert-Brucker, MPH is an epidemiologist specialized in survey implementation, data quality assurance, data collection, quantitative analysis, spatial analysis, and capacity building. At LSHTM she is a resaerch degree student studying trachoma spatial risk factors. Concurrently, She serves primarily as Senior Epidemiologist for USAID’s Act to End NTDs | East program, a global flagship initiative to help endemic countries fight neglected tropical diseases (NTDs). In that role, she supports population-based disease specific surveys including those utilizing electronic data collection platforms.
