RESEARCH INTERESTS

My research interest is in infectious diseases and vaccine-related research, including pneumonia, meningitis and malaria. I am interested in studying how infectious diseases spread within populations, identifying factors contributing to their transmission, and developing strategies to prevent and control outbreaks at a population level. I am currently investigating the relationship between pneumococcal carriage and interpersonal contact patterns and its role in persistent vaccine-type pneumococcal carriage in high-transmission settings.
