Elizabeth Radin is a Lecturer in Epidemiology and an Associate Research Scientist for the global health research group ICAP at Columbia University.

Elizabeth has 15 years of experience in Global Health and International Development. As a manager and a researcher, she has worked to address health inequalities in Africa and Southeast Asia focusing on HIV/AIDS, malaria and maternal and child health, among other issues. She currently oversees national-level HIV impact assessment studies in Malawi, Zimbabwe and Cote d’Ivoire. Carried out under the leadership of the Ministries of Health, these studies reveal how effective HIV prevention and treatment efforts have been and how to better target support to vulnerable populations that are slipping through the cracks.
Previously, Elizabeth led country programs for the Clinton Health Access Initiative in Cameroon and Indonesia. She also served as a consultant to the World Bank, a Research Officer at Oxford and the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.
Elizabeth holds a PhD in Public Health from Oxford and a Masters in Public Policy from Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government.

Fun Fact: During her first weeks leading an HIV treatment program in Indonesia, Elizabeth’s staff confronted her with an unusual concern: ghosts were haunting the newly opened office. In response, she worked with her Indonesian colleagues to pool funds to pay for an office exorcism. Elizabeth believes that working across cultures requires empathy, creative problem solving and a sense of humor. She still does not believe in ghosts.
