I joined LSHTM in 2005, and was based in Mwanza, Tanzania, until September 2008, when I returned to London. Before joining LSHTM, I spent seven years as a statistician in the pharmaceutical industry. I have an MSc in Epidemiology and an MSc in Applied Statistics. My first degree is in Geology, and before studying epidemiology, I worked as a geophysicist. In addition to Tanzania, I have lived and worked in Nigeria, Thailand and Peru.
Affiliation
Teaching
I teach on several internal study modules, including Statistics for Epidemiology and Population Health, Statistical Methods in Epidemiology and Advanced Statistical Methods in Epidemiology. I am also a tutor on the distance-learning MSc in Clinical Trials.
Research
I am a member of the Tropical Epidemiology Group. Since joining LSHTM, my main research interests have been in HIV intervention trials in East Africa.
Currently, I provide statisticial support for the Mwanza Intervention Trials Unit, including an HPV vaccine trial, a feasibility study to assess potential cohort suitability for future microbicide trials, and a propsective study of intravaginal practices and HIV incidence.
I am also involved in epidemiological research of HIV and STDs in Uganda, and the OFTOTUB project, a Phase III tuberculosis treatment trial comparing a shortened 4-month regimen to the standard 6-month regimen.
