Teaching

Judith was Head of the Doctoral College before her retirement.

She has run courses on Molecular Epidemiology of Infectious Diseases and Epidemiology and Control of Communicable Diseases, and taught on Extended Epidemiology

Research

Her main research interests are understanding transmission of infections and determinants of disease severity, including the effects of age. Studies include: Ebola transmission; the susceptibility of young women to HIV; the relationship between schooling and health;  the impact of HIV on mortality and morbidity; HIV surveillance; the relationship between HIV and tuberculosis; molecular epidemiology of HIV and TB. 

She retired in 2021
