Research Student - MPhil/PhD - Epidemiology & Population Health

United Kingdom

I am a research degree student currently working on comparing various empirical treatment choices for drug-resistant tuberculosis through modelling. I am funded by the MRC London Intercollegiate Doctoral Training Partnership Studentships. I have completed my MSc in Health Policy, Planning & Financing at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) and the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM). My professional background includes both work and consultancy experience with international organizations, such as the World Health Organization (WHO), the International Vaccine Institute (IVI), and Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance.

Research

I am interested in generating evidence to guide clinical and political decisions through modelling. My current research focuses on comparing the health and economic outcomes of treatments for drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis. My broad interests also encompass assessing the potential impact of measures to tackle infectious diseases, including improvements in diagnostic systems, vaccines, and enhancements in WASH (Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene).
