Biography
Dr. Chamberlain has a background in biodefense policy and public health preparedness. She serves as the Acting Director of the Emory Center for Public Health Preparedness and Research. Her research interests are in improving public health preparedness, maternal vaccination and vaccine promotion. She is also interested in the prevention of Legionnaires' Disease, a severe type of pneumonia caused by Legionella bacteria found in built water systems.
Dr. Chamberlain also directs the Emory COVID-19 Response Collaborative (ECRC). Established in June 2020 through a grant from the Robert W. Woodruff Foundation, the mission of the ECRC is to put Rollins faculty, staff and students into the service of health department partners working to combat the COVID-19 pandemic in Georgia. Her leadership of the ECRC is informed tremendously by her work as an epidemiology consultant with the Fulton County Board of Health (FCBOH), a role which she has held since 2017. In her work with FCBOH, she assists the county with COVID and non-COVID-related data analysis needs while working to forge a stronger academic-public health partnership between Emory and the FCBOH.
