Giulia Muraca
Assistant Professor
Perinatal Epidemiology
BIO
Dr. Giulia Muraca received her BSc in biological anthropology and African studies from the University of Toronto and her MPH and PhD from the School of Population and Public Health at the University of British Columbia. Dr. Muraca’s doctoral research used population-based data to characterize maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality in deliveries requiring forceps, vacuum and cesarean delivery. She completed a postdoctoral fellowship in the Clinical Epidemiology Unit at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden, where she developed epidemiologic approaches to identify optimal intervention rates (e.g., cesarean delivery rate, induction rate) that minimize the frequency of adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes (e.g., postpartum hemorrhage, obstetric anal sphincter injury, maternal sepsis, neonatal sepsis, birth injury). At McMaster, Dr. Muraca heads the McMaster Perinatal Epidemiology Research Unit, which aims to produce evidence to support enhanced safety and satisfaction in the care of pregnant individuals and their children, with emphasis on care quality, accessibility and equity.
