Education
editHauck was a doctoral researcher in the Centre for Health Economics at the University of York. Her doctoral research involved a quantitative analysis of health and health care organisations.[1] She spent part of her graduate studies at the World Health Organization.[2]
Research and career
editIn 2005, Hauck joined the Department of Econometrics and Business Statistics at Monash University.[citation needed] In 2010, she moved to the Imperial College Business School, and in 2015 she joined the School of Public Health. At Imperial College London, Hauck established the Jameel Institute-Kenneth C. Griffin Initiative for the Economics of Pandemic Preparedness.[3] The Jameel Institute look to understand the societal and economic value of preparing for pandemics.
Hauck had studied the economics of infectious diseases and pandemic preparedness. She evaluated HPTN 071 (PopART), a cluster randomised trial of antiretroviral therapies for treating HIV in Zambia and South Africa.[4] She found that universal HIV testing and treatment was cost-effective in high prevalence settings.[5] Hauck led the economic analysis for the Infected Blood Inquiry.[6] She found that the infections had broad-reaching financial impacts; affected individuals could not work, their children's education was interrupted, and their loved ones often became carers.[7]
Hauck is an international advisor on health policy and pandemic preparedness. She has worked with the World Health Organization, G20, the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations, Cabinet Office and the Global Fund.[citation needed]
