BIO

I am a Clinical Epidemiologist with specialty training in infectious diseases. I have been with London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine for my Wellcome PhD Fellowship in South Africa (1996-99) and my subsequent Wellcome Fellowships in Zimbabwe (2001-09) and Malawi (2009-20). I lived in Africa until my return to UK in 2020. I still work closely with 2 TB and HIV research groups in Malawi (MLW and Kumuzu University of Health Sciences (KUHeS), now headed by Dr Augustine Choko and Dr Marriott Nliwasa, respectively. I have collaborative projects in Zimbabwe and Nigeria.
