Maria Cristina Vazquez Guilla

Dr. Maria Cristina Vazquez Guillamet is devoted to exploring challenges in the field of infectious diseases, particularly focusing on infections in critically ill patients. As an Associate Professor of Medicine at the Division of Infectious Diseases at Washington University in St. Louis, she combines her expertise in mathematics and statistics to advance the understanding of infection dynamics in vulnerable populations. Her research is primarily centered on risk assessment and the treatment of infections caused by multidrug-resistant microbes. Dr. Vazquez Guillamet is committed to improving current prediction models to better identify patients who are at risk of developing these challenging infections. By refining these models, she aims to create tools that are not only accurate but also easily understandable and applicable in clinical settings. Dr. Vazquez Guillamet's work is pivotal in the field of epidemiology, as she seeks to bridge the gap between complex statistical methodologies and practical medical applications. Her dedication to this cause is evident in her efforts to enhance infection prediction and management strategies, ultimately aiming to improve patient outcomes in critical care environments. In addition to her research, Dr. Vazquez Guillamet is actively involved in mentoring the next generation of medical professionals and researchers. Her passion for teaching and collaboration fosters an environment of innovation and inquiry, encouraging her students and colleagues to push the boundaries of what is possible in the fight against multidrug-resistant infections.
