Stav Shapira, MHA, PhD, is a lecturer and until recently, the head of the master's program in Emergency Medicine at the school of public health, Faculty of Health Sciences, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev. Her main research interests are disaster resilience, disaster epidemiology, and vulnerable populations in emergencies (e.g., older persons, people with disabilities, and ethnic minorities). She specializes in mapping these populations' unique health and social care needs in times of crisis, in parallel with identifying gaps in existing response capacities of organizations and systems, and exploring ways to bridge these gaps to provide optimal care in future emergency events. She employs a mixed-methods, community-based, participatory research approach in her work to facilitate the implementation of scientific knowledge into policymaking processes and encourage community change.
