She is a Senior Epidemiologist within the Malaria Elimination Initiative at the Institute for Global Health Sciences at UCSF, where she supports malaria molecular surveillance and high-risk population projects.

Dr. Routledge’s work focuses on improving infectious disease surveillance, through a) modeling approaches to better utilize routine surveillance data, b) approaches to analyze and use molecular surveillance data c) working with decision-makers to translate surveillance data into actionable recommendations. She was a Postdoctoral Scholar at the University of California, San Francisco, and a member of the Experimental and Population-based Pathogen Investigation (EPPI) center where she worked on genomic surveillance for malaria in elimination settings as well as the seroepidemiology of SARS-CoV-2.
