BIO

My main area of research interest is improvement of reproductive health and minimising adverse effects of population changes on health and welfare worldwide. In the past few years, I've been extending my interest to infertility, childless/child-free and access and quality of fertility treatments in UK and other regions.

I have worked with a wide range of organisations from NGOs to government and international organisations. I currently work at LSHTM part time on Thursdays as Programme Director for the Nagasaki University-LSHTM Joint PhD programme, and work as Senior Research Manager at the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA), UK, for the rest of a week.
