Marija Pantelic

Dr Marija Pantelic is a Lecturer in Public Health at Brighton and Sussex Medical School, University of Sussex and Associate Member of the Department of Social Policy and Intervention, University of Oxford. She uses a range of mixed methods and social epidemiology to shed light to experiences of shame, discrimination, marginalisation, resilience, and collective mobilisation among people living with or affected by stigmatised health conditions, including HIV and Long Covid.

Marija is passionate about maximising the utility of research for evidence-based practice and is lucky to work closely with public health and human rights advocates from across the world, including global, regional and national networks of people living with HIV, networks of people who use drugs, sex workers, transgender people, and people living with Long Covid. All of Marija’s work is indebted to marginalised communities, who mobilise, generously share their experiences and advance research for a fairer world and improved health services for their peers.
