My first degrees are in clinical science and medicine from the University of London, followed by a DTM&H from Liverpool, MRCP in London and PhD from the University of Barcelona, Spain. I was based at the Ifakara Health Institute, Tanzania, between 1995-2001 then again 2004-2007, working on various descriptive and intervention studies relating to child health, especially malaria. I joined the School in 2003 to help build the IPTi Consortium, before returning to Tanzania in 2004 to work on a large-scale evaluation of the effectiveness of IPTi. I've been based in London since the end of 2007.

Teaching

I supervise MSc (mainly PHDC), malaria study unit and PhD students, and lecture on the DTM&H, malaria study unit and various MSc courses.

Research

Since 2009 I've been Director of the ACT Consortium (www.actconsortium.org), answering key questions on malaria drug delivery. I am deputy director of the Malaria Capacity Development Consortium, which works to strengthen capacity for health research in Africa (www.mcdconsortium.org). I support the Malaria Vaccine Initiative in the clinical evaluation of RTSs, the most advanced malaria vaccine candidate (www.malariavaccine.org). I worked extensively on Intermittent Preventive malaria Treatment for the control of malaria and anaemia in Infants (IPTi) (www.ipti-malaria.org). Other interests include the evaluation of drug safety, the strengthening of health information systems, various methodological studies and micronutrient (iron and vitamin A) supplementation.

• Selected publications

• A community-randomised evaluation of the effect of IPTi on anti-malarial drug resistance in southern Tanzania.
