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

I worked extensively on Intermittent Preventive malaria Treatment for the control of malaria and anaemia in Infants (IPTi) (www.ipti-malaria.org). 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). Other interests include the evaluation of drug safety, the strengthening of health information systems, various methodological and epidemiological studies and micronutrient (iron and vitamin A) supplementation.
