Alessandro Cassini
Alessandro Cassini

Alessandro Cassini is a medical doctor specialised in public health and epidemiology of infectious diseases. After an MSc LSE & LSHTM, he joined the European centre for Disease Prevention and Control to lead the Burden of Communicable Diseases in Europe (BCoDE) project, while also focusing on bridging the communication and technical gap between risk assessors and managers (knowledge translation) and ultimately enhancing informed and evidence-based health policy decision-making. At ECDC, Alessandro has also been responsible for country visits to discuss AMR issues, for field work in outbreak response (e.g. Ebola), for EUCAST and supported the development of risk ranking methodologies. In March 2019, Alessandro joined the Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) Technical and Clinical Hub (Department of Integrated Health Services) at the World Health Organization.
