I came to the School in 2006 for my PhD in Infectious Disease Epidemiology, which I completed in 2010. The PhD focussed on the epidemiological interaction between HIV, TB and ART, in particular how the molecular epidemiolgy of TB is affected by HIV. In my future work I will look at whole genome sequencing of Mtb, and how we can apply this new technique to improve our understanding of TB molecular epidemiology.
