Eduardo A. Undurraga es Profesor Asociado y Director de Investigación de la Escuela de Gobierno UC. Es Director del Multidisciplinary Initiative for Collaborative Research on Bacterial Pathogens and Resistance (MICROB-R), investigador del Centro de Investigación para la Gestión Integrada del Riesgo de Desastres (CIGIDEN), y Azrieli Global Scholar, Humans and the Microbiome (2021-2023) del Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR). Graduado como ingeniero civil UC y magíster en estudios sociales y políticos latinoamericanos en la U. Alberto Hurtado, Eduardo obtuvo un doctorado en políticas sociales en Brandeis University con una beca Fulbright.

Su investigación está en la interfaz de las ciencias sociales y la salud de la población, con especial énfasis en poblaciones marginalizadas de Latinoamérica. Usa métodos cuantitativos para analizar los factores locales, nacionales, y globales que afectan la salud y el bienestar de la población y evaluar el impacto de programas e intervenciones de salud pública. Con un enfoque fuertemente interdisciplinario y colaborativo, Eduardo ha publicado más de 120 artículos científicos revisados por pares (WoS), incluyendo revistas líderes en su disciplina como The New England Journal of Medicine, Nature, The Lancet, y Proceedings of the National Academy of Science. Los resultados de su investigación han sido destacados en medios nacionales e internacionales, incluyendo BBC, CNN International, Der Spiegel, O Globo, Scientific American, South China Morning Post, The Economist, The New York Times, y The Washington Post. Ha colaborado en evaluaciones de salud pública con gobiernos locales y nacionales, y organizaciones internacionales, incluyendo Bloomberg Data for Health Initiative, CDC Foundation, UNICEF, y la Organización Mundial de la Salud.

Anteriormente, fue Luksic Scholar del David Rockefeller Center for Latin American Studies (DRCLAS), Harvard University (2022-2023), investigador de la Red Iberoamericana para el Estudio de la Psicosis Precoz (ANDES) (2018-2021), Steven M.
