Ingrid Chen, Ph.D.
Global Health Sciences
Dr. Chen’s research interests are focused on the implementation and evaluation of interventions to combat malaria. This includes cost-effectiveness analysis with a focus on therapeutics and diagnostics. Her technical background includes extensive training in the basic sciences (chemistry, drug discovery) and the application of critical thinking and problem solving to economic analysis.

Evaluate interventions to improve the access and availability of therapeutics and diagnostics for malaria

Design interventions that can translate basic research findings to large-scale implementation

Global Health Sciences – Cost-effectiveness analysis of a pilot study conducted by the Private Sector Healthcare Initiative (PSHi) and Population Services International
(PSI) Myanmar to establish the most efficient method to motivate private providers to use subsidized rapid diagnostic tests for malaria in Myanmar.
