Profile Summary

I am an Epidemiologist (MSc. & PhD), Biostatistician, and Research Consultant with expertise in infectious disease epidemiology, spatial epidemiology, climate-health research, and advanced statistical analysis. My work focuses on leveraging epidemiological methods, geospatial technologies, and data-driven approaches to address complex public health challenges and support evidence-based decision-making. I possess extensive experience in analyzing large-scale health and surveillance datasets using R, applying advanced statistical techniques including regression modeling, Bayesian hierarchical modeling, time-series analysis, and spatio-temporal analysis. I am also proficient in GIS-based research using ArcGIS and QGIS for disease mapping, hotspot detection, spatial risk assessment, and geospatial visualization. My research portfolio includes studies on dengue epidemiology, climate-sensitive diseases, environmental determinants of health, disease surveillance, and public health risk assessment. I have successfully led and contributed to numerous research projects involving the integration of epidemiological, climatic, environmental, and geospatial data to identify disease patterns and risk factors. In addition to quantitative analysis, I am highly experienced in systematic reviews, meta-analyses, bibliometric studies, and evidence synthesis following PRISMA guidelines. I provide comprehensive research support, including study design, protocol development, literature review, data analysis, scientific writing, manuscript editing, and publication support. With a strong publication record (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?term=meenu+mariya+james) and expertise in advanced analytical methodologies, I help researchers, academic institutions, healthcare organizations, and public health professionals transform complex datasets into meaningful scientific insights and high-impact research outputs. Core Expertise: Epidemiology | Biostatistics | R Programming | ArcGIS & QGIS | Spatial Analysis | Bayesian Modeling | Time-Series Analysis | Climate-Health Research | Disease Mapping | Systematic Reviews | Meta-Analysis | Scientific Writing | Research Methodology | Data Visualization
