Dr Rebecca Clark

Assistant Professor

United Kingdom

I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Infectious Disease Epidemiology & Dynamics at LSHTM. My research is focussed on using mathematical modelling to evaluate the health and economic impacts of interventions to reduce the burden of TB, primarily of new vaccines.

 

I have a PhD in Infectious Disease Epidemiology from LSHTM, an MSc in Epidemiology from the University of Alberta and a BSc (Honours) in Biology and Mathematics from McMaster University.
