Pantelina Zourna Hargaden, MD, MPH, PhD currently serves as an Assistant Professor of Public Health and Epidemiology in the AUHS School of Pharmacy.Dr. Zourna Hargaden is an experienced epidemiologist and physician in Internal Medicine, with more than 15 years of experience in the US and Europe. Prior to joining AUHS, she has worked in epidemiological research for NIH projects through Athens University/Harvard University as well as in European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) studies. She has worked in breast cancer research, as part of the team of internationally known Professor Dimitrios Trichopoulos (Vincent L. Gregory Professor of Cancer Prevention and Professor of Epidemiology at Harvard Chan School of Public Health), who was also the academic advisor of her doctoral thesis. As a graduate of the MPH program at Harvard Chan School of Public Health and a public health practitioner, she investigated the risk factors of breast cancer and worked to raise awareness of cancer. She has extensive experience optimizing study designs and statistical analysis for interdisciplinary projects. Her scientific work has been published in peer-reviewed medical journals (e.g. Annals of Internal Medicine, BMJ, etc.)As a physician in Internal Medicine, Dr. Zourna Hargaden worked with ethos, with underserved populations in Greece, pioneered efforts to improve patient safety and performance, reduce preventable rehospitalizations and improve access of underserved populations to primary, secondary, and tertiary care. During her practice, she supervised multiple medical students and mentored international graduate students in public health, as an ambassador for Harvard Chan School of Public Health. She is enthusiastic about health sciences education, with a public health focus, to meet the current needs of healthcare in our country.She is a member of the American Public Health Association (APHA), the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), and the American Society for Clinical Oncology (ASCO).
