I completed a BSc in Marine Biology from the University of British Columbia and then subsequently studied medicine at McGill University in Canada. Since graduating, I have finished training in Internal Medicine and have specialized in Infectious Diseases. I then worked as an Infectious Disease consultant at the Rockefeller University Hospital and as a physician/scientist at the Aaron Diamond AIDS Research Centre in New York City, where I studied the transmission of drug resistant variants of HIV. I have since completed an MSc in Epidemiology at LSHTM.
I am currently working as a Wellcome Trust Fellow in the Infectious and Tropical Diseases Faculty at LSHTM, where I am studying genital shedding of HIV and transmission in female sex workers in Burkina Faso.
Affiliation
Teaching
I currently work as a distance-learning tutor and examiner on the HIV/AIDS course (ID501). I am also the assistant course organiser for the AIDS module 3174 at LSHTM.
Research
I am performing research on the genital shedding of HIV-1 in high-risk women in Burkina Faso, in collaboration with the Centre Muraz in Burkina and with Universite de Montpellier in France. I am also collaborating on a study of compartmentalization of HIV-1 replication in the female genital tract with researchers at UCL.
