Dr Enny Paixao Cruz is a Sir Henry Wellcome Fellow of Infectious Disease Epidemiology in the Faculty of Epidemiology and Population Health at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (UK). Dr Paixao's research focuses on the use of electronic health data in middle-income countries, infectious disease and maternal and child health. In collaboration with partners at CIDACS-Fiocruz (http://cidacs.bahia.fiocruz.br/), she uses big data approaches to investigate the effect of obstetric and pre-natal conditions, congenital infections, and other potential social and environmental determinants and impact of social policies on birth, growth, morbidity, and survival, overall and in subgroups of interest in a dynamic Brazilian birth cohort.
