I'm a UK Paediatrician (ST5 registrar) and Wellcome Trust Fellow particularly interested in child growth and function. I have worked in KEMRI on severe malnutrition and a Wellcome Trust Fellowship examining School-age outcomes from the SHINE cluster randomised trial in Zimbabwe.

There I developed an interest in school-age measures of growth, body composition, physical and cognitive function. These provide an insight into long-term effects of interventions and area also highly predictive for adulthood. I also work on the long-term effects of HIV exposure, environmental, maternal and nurturing influences. I am also working part-time in the NHS on Community Paediatrics, neonatal and general paediatrics.
