Biography

Fausto received both a PhD in Epidemiology and an MA in Biostatistics from the University of California, Berkeley; an MS in Epidemiology from Harvard University; and a dual Bachelor’s degree in Political Science and Human Biology from Stanford University.

Fausto started his fellowship with the Office of Data Science and Emerging Technologies (ODSET) where he used PubMed to understand the depth, usage, and gaps of data science methods across NIAID priority topics. For his second rotation, Fausto worked with the Epidemiology and Population Studies Unit and the Epidemiology and Data Management Unit in the Division of Intramural Research (DIR) to analyze immunological, serological, and epidemiological data for immunodeficient and healthy participants before and after being vaccinated against SARS-CoV-2 to understand the duration and effect of vaccination on individuals with immunodeficiencies. Fausto is currently working on co-authoring multiple manuscripts related to this study. For his third rotation, he worked with the Parasitology and International Programs Branch (PIPB) in the Division of Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (DMID) to identify which datasets relevant to climate change and health were curated by different governmental and non-governmental agencies, as well as what privacy or other concerns limited their use for climate change research.
