Education

Donnelly was educated at Oberlin College in Ohio, where she was awarded a Bachelor of Arts degree,[ when? ] and at Harvard University in Boston, where in 1992 she was awarded Master of Science (MSc) and Doctor of Science (SciD) degrees [11] degrees in biostatistics [1] supervised by Nan Laird and James H. Ware. [3]

Career and research

Donnelly's research investigates statistical and biomathematical methods to analyse epidemiological patterns of infectious diseases such as coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), [12] [13] Influenza A virus subtype H1N1, [14] [15] and Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), [16] Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS), the Ebola virus disease, [17] zoonoses and HIV/AIDS. [18] She has interests in ecology, conservation, and animal welfare [8] having worked on bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) [19] and Foot-and-mouth disease [20] in cattle, bovine tuberculosis and policies regarding badger culling in the United Kingdom. [21] [22] [23]

Awards and honours

Donnelly was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS) in 2016 [1] [4] and a Fellow of the Academy of Medical Sciences (FMedSci) in 2015. [5] She was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the 2018 New Year Honours. [24]

In 2016 Donnelly won the Suffrage Science award [25] [26] and in 2018 nominated Ruth Keogh  [ Wikidata ] at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM). [27]
