Lecturer in Health Policy

I am a Lecturer at the Department of Public Health and Policy, whose current research projects include evaluations of health policy on the control of communicable diseases including pandemic flu, HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis. My research interests include assessing interfaces between health systems and infectious disease control policies.

Before joining the LSHTM, I was a project officer for the European Commission and was heading the health cooperation programme of the EU in the Russian Federation. I developed monitored and evaluated major technical assistance projects on communicable diseases control in the FSU.

In 2008-2010 I was an advisor to the UK House of Lords for a committee on the work of intergovernmental organizations in the control of infectious diseases and on the S&T House of Lords pandemic preparedness Committee. I have also advised the UK government's Cabinet Office.

Affiliation

Teaching

I organize the study unit "Organization and Management" and lecture on communicable diseases policy, and notably influenza pandemic preparedness.

Research

I have conducted research on assessing pandemic preparedness in various regions of the world. I am also responsible for conducting research to evaluate impact on health systems of disease control programmes (influenza pandemic, HIV/AIDS, vaccinations).

I currently work on a project exploring national decision-making processes in new vaccine adoption and the impact of new vaccines introduction on health systems in 7 low and middle income countries. I have been part in 2010 in a WHO sponsored study to evaluate impact on health systems of measles eradication activities.
