About Marie N Séraphin

Marie Nancy Séraphin, MPH, PhD, is an Assistant Professor of Epidemiology with affiliation in the Emerging Pathogens Institute (EPI). Her background spans field-based program evaluation in resource-limited settings and infectious disease epidemiology. Dr. Séraphin’s research integrates pathogen genomics with real-world clinical and public health data to quantify infectious disease transmission and to evaluate how care systems perform. Within the CDC-sponsored Tuberculosis Epidemiologic Studies Consortium (TBESC-II), she led components of multi-site EMR harmonization, defined and operationalized TB prevention care cascade states, and coordinated scientific activities across jurisdictions. Her K01 award (K01AI153544, NIAID) extended this trajectory by developing analytic methods that integrate heterogeneous data streams for transmission inference. Across this program, she has published on TB epidemiology, transmission dynamics, diagnostic evaluation under imperfect measurement, and care cascade performance in real-world populations. A consistent thread across Dr. Séraphin’s work is the development of measurement infrastructure — validated case definitions, multi-source data integration, and longitudinal pathway reconstruction — that translates complex observational data into actionable evidence for clinical and public health decisions. Her current interests extend to NTM pulmonary disease outcomes, real-world evidence from electronic health record data, and clinical decision science.

Research Profile

My research develops measurement infrastructure and analytic methods that translate complex clinical and public health data into actionable evidence for infectious disease decision-making. My group integrates multi-source data, including bacterial genomic data, to define longitudinal disease states, reconstruct care pathways, and evaluate how care systems perform under real-world conditions. My currrent interests extend to NTM pulmonary disease outcomes, real-world evidence from EHR data, and clinical decision science for preference-sensitive treatment decisions.
