Emeritus Professor Judith Glynn

Emeritus Professor of Infectious Diseases Epidemiology

United Kingdom

Jump to: Affiliations Teaching Research Publications

I left clinical medicine to come to the School in 1990 to do the MSc in Epidemiology. I went on to do a PhD (on the influence of infecting dose on severity of disease) and then joined the Karonga Prevention Study (now Malawi Epidemiology and Intervention Research Unit) to work on tuberculosis and HIV in Malawi. I worked at LSHTM until my retirement in 2021. I am also a sculptor. My work includes two large installations ("Karyotype" and "Codons") in LSHTM's main building in Keppel Street.

Teaching

I was Head of the Doctoral College before my retirement.

I have run courses on Molecular Epidemiology of Infectious Diseases and Epidemiology and Control of Communicable Diseases, and taught on Extended Epidemiology. I led LSHTM's first open access on-line course, on Ebola.

I continue to act as a mentor.

Research

My main research interests are understanding transmission of infections and determinants of disease severity, including the effects of age. Studies include: Ebola transmission; the susceptibility of young women to HIV; the relationship between schooling and health; the impact of HIV on mortality and morbidity; HIV surveillance; the relationship between HIV and tuberculosis; molecular epidemiology of HIV and TB.
