Gina Charnley is a Recognised Researcher at the Barcelona Supercomputing Centre and her primary research interests are using statistical modelling and machine learning to further understand the role of climate and disasters on infectious disease outbreaks. At the BSC she mainly works on iDAlert, a project aimed at understanding the impacts of climate change on the emergence and spread of infectious diseases, investigating key indicators in Europe.

Previously her work has focussed on cholera, Ebola, Rift Valley fever, droughts and conflicts, mainly in Africa. She is particularly interested in population vulnerability and the risk factors for infectious diseases impacting those most vulnerable in the population. Before joining the BSC, her educational background includes veterinary medicine, climate change and epidemiology and she holds Honorary Research Associate positions at Imperial College London (School of Public Health) and University College London (Institute for Global Health).
