Maria Guillamet MD

Dr. Maria Cristina Vazquez Guillemet is an Associate Professor of Medicine at Washington University in St. Louis. She is board certified in Internal Medicine, Infectious Diseases, and, Critical Care Medicine. Dr. Guillamet’s focus has been bringing new mathematical and statistical methods to the study of infections in critically ill patients. She has been interested in infections caused by multidrug-resistant microbes, their epidemiology, treatment, and impact.

Dr. Guillamet's research aims how to better predict and understand who’s at risk for developing an infection caused by multidrug-resistant microbes. her current subjective approach has led to both underrecognizing sepsis and also overtreating MDR pathogens. More so, current prediction models have failed the external validation. Dr. Guillment strives to correct that and develop tools that classify patients at risk and that are easy to understand, apply and extrapolate.
