United Kingdom

I am a diagnostic radiographer, echocardiographer and research fellow currently based at The Health Research Unit Zimbabwe (THRUZim) in Harare. As a Wellcome Trust post-doctoral fellow, I work under the supervision of Dr. Anoop Shah. My research focuses on understanding the relationship between chronic infections, such as HIV, and cardiovascular diseases using advanced cardiovascular imaging techniques.

I am also affiliated with the Centre for Global Chronic Conditions at LSHTM and am a member of the multi-morbidity group at THRUZim.
