My research work is focussed around improving the measurement and global estimation of perinatal conditions (including preterm birth, low birthweight, small-for-gestational-age, stillbirths, congenital abnormalities and neonatal morbidity and associated long term consequences) as part of the Every Newborn Action plan to end preventable newborn deaths and stillbirths. In addition to the advancement of the global perinatal epidemiology knowledge base, I am interested how this knowledge can be integrated in policy and practice to ensure that every baby counts. 

I have provided a technical contribution to the recent Lancet series on 'Stillbirths' (2011) and 'Every Newborn' (2014). I was part of the steering committee for the 2016 Lancet Ending preventable stillbirths series.
