Claudia E. Ordóñez is an anthropologist, interculturalist and health sciences researcher whose interdisciplinary skillset bridges medical anthropology, public health and implementation science. Anchored in qualitative, mixed-methods and community-engaged research frameworks, her work focuses on infectious diseases (especially HIV/AIDS), spanning health disparities, inter- and meta-disciplinary research collaborations, plural health systems, traditional medicines and intercultural proficiency. With a strong grasp of both cultural nuance and epidemiological frameworks, her approach to research integrates behavioral, contextual and community-level insights into the design and delivery of culturally grounded, evidence-informed health interventions that are effective and sustainable in real-world settings. She is affiliated with Emory University as an adjunct assistant professor at Rollins School of Public Health and with the School of Public Health at the University of the Witwatersrand in South Africa.
