Biography

Dr. Camargo earned an M.S. in epidemiology from the School of Public Health in Mexico, an M.H.A degree from the Pontificia Universidad Javeriana in Colombia, and a Ph.D. in public health with concentration in epidemiology from the University of Illinois at Chicago. She conducted her dissertation work at the Infections and Immunoepidemiology Branch (IIB) on the role of Epstein-Barr virus infection in gastric carcinogenesis. She joined IIB as a postdoctoral fellow in 2010 and became an Earl Stadtman Tenure-Track Investigator in the Metabolic Epidemiology Branch (MEB) in 2016. Prior to joining NCI, Dr. Camargo was a member of the research group led by Dr. Pelayo Correa, first at Louisiana State University and then at Vanderbilt University, studying gastric cancer and its primary risk factor, Helicobacter pylori infection.
