Coll Hutchison

Research Degree Student

My first degree, was in Genetics from Edinburgh University, where I specialised in phylogenetics. Following this, I did the MSc in Control of Infectious disease at LSHTM. Since then I've worked at the school investigating risk factors for low birthweight in the Ugandan Highlands and assisting with LSHTM's programme on engaging young people in science.

I was the student coordinator for the EcoHealth 2010 London conference and representative on the EcoHealth student board.

Research

I am currently doing a full-time PhD, taking two Mbya Guarani communities as the starting points to explore how inequalities and differences in knowledge between Mbya and non-Mbya frame child health in Misiones, Argentina. I am funded by an NERC/ESRC interdisciplinary studentship.
