Edson Serván-Mori is a Professor of Economics and Research Methodology in the Division of Health Economics and Health Systems Evaluation at Mexico's National Institute of Public Health (INSP), where he also serves as a Senior Researcher at the Center for Health Systems Research. He earned his PhD in Economics summa cum laude from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), alongside a Master’s in Economics from CIDE (Mexico), with additional specializations in Applied Statistics (UNAM), Data Science (CIMAT, Mexico), and Social Development (UNAM). His interdisciplinary research leverages advanced econometric techniques—such as quasi-experimental designs and machine learning—to assess health policies and social protection programs, focusing on vulnerable populations. With over 150 peer-reviewed publications in top-tier journals, Serván-Mori is a prolific contributor to global health scholarship. He holds editorial roles at PLoS ONE, BMC Health Services Research, Frontiers in Public Health, and the International Journal of Health Planning and Management, and collaborates on the Global Burden of Disease Study (IHME). Recognized as a Level II member of Mexico’s National System of Researchers (SNI) and recipient of INSP’s 2015 Young Investigator Award, his work explores universal health coverage, financial risk protection, health system fragmentation, and disparities in maternal/child health and non-communicable diseases. By integrating rigorous causal inference with policy-relevant insights, his research informs decision-making across Mexico and Latin America.
