I am a professor of epidemiology at LSHTM with specialist areas focusing on the epidemiological aspects of 'flu, TB, other respiratory infections including coronoviruses, livestock related zoonoses and post-licensure research on vaccines.
I joined the School on an MRC training fellowship after completing an MSc in epidemiology. As a lecturer here I received a Wellcome Trust Valuing People award. Prior to this I was a lecturer in General Practice and had also worked at Public Health England (formerly the Health Protection Agency).
I have since been an honorary consultant at UKHSA.  I have a research background that includes the epidemiology of influenza, TB as well as other vaccine-preventable infections. . I have been a member of the pneumococcal subcommittee of the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation and a member of WHO's Global Advisory Committee on Vaccine Safety.
