I am a clinical epidemiologist with training in Internal Medicine (University of Colorado, Denver), Infectious Diseases (University of California, San Francisco), and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM). Since 1999, I have been involved in research on malaria in Uganda and am currently based in Kampala with the Uganda Malaria Surveillance Project and the Infectious Disease Research Collaboration at Mulago Hospital (http://www.muucsf.org/). I was previously affiliated with the University of California, San Francisco as an assistant adjunct professor in the Department of Medicine at San Francisco General Hospital.
