Jenny S. Guadamuz is an Assistant Professor at the UC Berkeley School of Public Health, Division of Health Policy and Management. She is a member of the Latinx and Democracy Faculty Cluster.
Dr. Guadamuz is a health services researcher and pharmacoepidemiologist who uses an interdisciplinary approach to identify how structural determinants impact healthcare access, especially medications among minoritized racial/ethnic populations. Her current research focuses on health inequities across immigration status. Immigration status is a critical yet overlooked factor influencing disparities because noncitizens endure significant barriers to legal and social protections, including systemic exclusions from healthcare.
Dr. Guadamuz’s research has been published in high-impact, peer-reviewed journals, including JAMA, the American Journal of Public Health, and Health Affairs. Her unique research perspective has garnered funding from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, as part of their inaugural cohort of Health Policy Research Scholars, and the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, as a T32 fellow.
