Anna-Maria Hartner is a research scientist in the Faculty of Medicine at the Vaccine Impact Modelling Consortium (VIMC) and a doctoral candidate at the Robert Koch Institute Centre for Artificial Intelligence in Public Health.

Her current research interests include the mechanistic relationships between climate change and infectious disease transmission, subnational heterogeneity in immunisation coverage, and vaccine access and impact. She currently works to estimate global vaccine impact across a portfolio of twelve vaccine-preventable diseases to inform potential future investments and vaccine scale-up opportunities.

Her earlier work included the development of the Regional Strategic Plan on Immunization for the World Health Organization Regional Office for Africa, and experience in cross-cultural settings in East Africa, South America, and the Middle East, where she aimed to address health inequities through data visualization, statistical modelling, and interindustry collaborations.
