Catalina González Uribe is an Associate Researcher at the Center for Sustainable Development Goals for Latin America and the Caribbean (CODS) at Universidad de los Andes (Colombia), where she earned her degrees in Anthropology, Psychology, and a Master’s degree in Anthropology. Her professional trajectory led her to further complement her training with a Master’s degree in Social Epidemiology and a PhD in Epidemiology and Public Health from University College London. Her research focuses on understanding, through mixed-methods approaches, the complexity of health and disease processes in Colombia and other Latin American countries, and their intersections with gender, social determinants of health, and digital health. Catalina leads interdisciplinary research teams aimed at generating and translating evidence to support informed decision-making and the design of population health interventions and policies. She has more than 20 years of experience in health equity research, with a particular focus on communities in Global South countries. She is deeply interested in science diplomacy, interdisciplinary collaboration, and the intercultural challenges involved in research projects. Together with her teams, she continuously works to develop effective strategies for the co-creation of evidence and knowledge exchange among communities, academia, and decision-makers. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Catalina led an interdisciplinary research project titled COLEV (2020–2022), which explored the role of data science and artificial intelligence in producing timely and relevant evidence for public health decision-making in Colombia. She also co-led the TRACE-LAC project, which focused on the development and strengthening of analytical tools for the control of infectious disease epidemics in Latin America and the Caribbean, and she is part of the global collaborative initiative Epiverse, led by data.org. This MOOC emerges from the project she leads in Colombia, “The Future of Rights in the Digital Era (DHRP),” as part of the Digital Health and Rights Consortium (DHRP). This project is grounded in Participatory Action Research and seeks to understand how the digitalization of society affects human rights. The project aims to promote access to digital technologies and to reduce digital divides. From 2020 to 2024, Catalina served as Director of Internationalization at Universidad de los Andes, where she led the university’s national and international academic engagement and cooperation strategy. Her role included participation in higher education networks, the development of strategic partnerships, academic mobility initiatives, the design of an internationalization strategy for doctoral programs, and the leadership of both the Japan Center and the Confucius Institute.
