Leonardo Martinez, PhD, MPH
Assistant Professor, University of California, Berkeley School of Public Health
Leo Martinez joined the Division of Epidemiology at the University California, Berkeley School of Public Health in 2026. Prior to his work at UC Berkeley, Dr. Martinez was an Assistant Professor at Boston University’s School of Public Health.
Dr. Martinez uses epidemiological and quantitative approaches to study early-life risk factors for pediatric tuberculosis in high-burden settings, tuberculosis transmission dynamics in high-risk populations (e.g., prisoners, persons living with HIV or diabetes), and the relationship between tuberculosis and non-communicable diseases.
Dr. Martinez’s lab is currently working with colleagues and collaborators in several countries globally. We believe that collaboration across professional disciplines, backgrounds, and perspectives is key to solving intractable health issues, and the lab welcomes discussions with others working on these same health issues.
