Personal profile

Zhongwei Jia was 2012-2013Takemi Fellow in Harvard School of Public Health and 2009-2010 Fogarty Fellow in the National Institute of Health (NIH), USA. Dr. Jia has carried out research on TB, HIV/AIDS, drug abuse and other public health and science decision making since her Ph.D study under the joint supervision of interdisciplinary mentorship. Dr. Jia began her academic career as an economic mathematics teacher in Yantai University, having taken degrees in applied mathematical and computer science from China Ocean University. But in deep her heart and mind, she is full of curiosity of life. After the pre-doctoral training of bioinformatics at Academy of Military Medical Sciences, she became interested in communicable disease ecology (epidemiology) on a PhD at Beijing University of Post and Telecommunication and China CDC under the joint supervision mentorship. Now she is an epidemiological and statistical professor in National Institute on Drug Dependence, Peking University and brings her research closer to public health including mental health.
