Karoun H. Bagamian, PhD
During my 18 years as an academic researcher, my professional experiences helped me realize that every research project is inevitably faced with unexpected obstacles that slow down progress. Learning when and how to step in during these disruptions has greatly benefited the projects I have led or been involved with. I have consistently ensured efficient project initiation to product completion—through strategically planning research projects, facilitating idea development, assembling and training research teams, writing and editing high-quality grant proposals and research articles, and completing crucial analyses. These are the types of services that BSC is proud to offer to medical and science professionals or institutions, and we look forward to providing the support you need to make your project a success.
Areas of expertise: Research project management and strategy, publication and grant strategy and writing; spatial analysis; infectious diseases (especially emerging and enteric diseases), health disparities, vaccines, organ transplantation, and public and global health
Lindsey Laytner, PhD, MPH
Over the last decade, I have worked and led various interdisciplinary public and global health projects, from international health disparities to clinical AMR. I have collaborated alongside individual researchers, academics, medical staff, clinical research organizations, international health organizations, and US government agencies to tackle public health problems. I use a combination of methodologies, including qualitative and quantitative approaches, to solve research problems. Engaging a variety of audiences is one of my passions–I enjoy highlighting novel research in the community and engaging with a broader scientific audience through skillful health communications and vibrant graphic design.
Areas of expertise: Qualitative research, mixed methods research, epidemiological methods, one health, antimicrobial resistance and stewardship, patient-centered health, health communications (social media marketing, blogging), project management; graphic design
Gabriela M. Blohm, PhD
I have worked in the field and at the laboratory bench for more than 20 years, and through my experiences in academia and in private industry, I have gained an in-depth understanding of the scientific process. I have brought multiple studies from conception to completion and can offer guidance on experimental design, data collection, and communication of results. I value high-quality research that follows sound logic and uses identifiable metrics, and I feel that it is important to communicate scientific research in ways that are both transparent and engaging. Throughout my career, I have worked with professionals in science and in medicine as a data analyst, manuscript writer, and reviewer for peer-reviewed publication. I am a native Spanish speaker and can provide experienced support with writing or translating scientific documents to English or Spanish.
Areas of expertise: Infectious diseases (with a focus on emerging and mosquito-borne viruses), epidemiological modeling; virus surveillance and discovery; molecular diagnostics of infectious diseases; public health interventions in Latin America and the Caribbean, scientific writing in Spanish.
Katharine McNamara, MHS
I have been involved in collaborative and independent global health and development research projects throughout the Global South, United States, and Europe for almost a decade. As an interdisciplinary social scientist, I bring qualitative and mixed-methods research design and analysis expertise to the BSC team. My academic formation spans the fields of Public Health, Anthropology, and Gender Studies and uniquely positions me to critically engage with scientific data through various methodological and theoretical approaches. I employ my facilitation skills in multiple languages to conduct effective research activities—interviews and focus group discussions—and moderate organizational meetings that help institutions meet their goals.
Areas of expertise: Global and public health; focus group facilitation and interviewing in English, Spanish, and Portuguese; mixed methods research; qualitative data analysis; participatory methods.
