I joined LSHTM  in 2010 after completing an Msc in Public Health for Developing Countries. My background is in medicine and I have worked as a clinician in paediatrics, general practice and obstetrics and gynaecology.

My main interests are in maternal and child health, and in newborn health in particular.

Affiliation

• Department of Infectious Disease Epidemiology
• Faculty of Epidemiology and Population Health

Teaching

I teach on applying public health principles in developing countries

Research

My recent research has focussed on national, regional and global estimates of preterm birth and stillbirth.

I am currently working on a Child Health Epidemiology Research Group (CHERG) funded project to identify and quantify the burden of neonatal morbidity globally. This includes describing and quantifying the burden of long term impairment after neonatal conditions including preterm birth, intrapartum insults, neonatal infections and jaundice.
