I am the main supervisor of a PhD student researching social and cognitive factors underlying vaccine uptake and refusal in pregnant women. This PhD research involves a range of studies focussing on the interaction between trust of pregnant women in health care professionals and official educational materials, and the active searching for additional information when making the decision to vaccinate during pregnancy.

I am an associate supervisor of a PhD student researching factors influencing vaccination uptake among ethnic minorities during pregnancy in England. This PhD research involves a literature review of factors leading to poor uptake of vaccines in pregnant women, focusing on maternal acceptability, concerns and trust, and in-depth interviews with pregnant women and health care workers about reasons for non-vaccination during pregnancy.

I have supervised MSc summer projects and tutored students from MSc Control of Infectious Diseases. I have also supervised students externally at Imperial College London and at The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, Geneva.

I am a seminar leader for the MSc modules 'Applied Communicable Disease Control' and  'Issues in Public Health'.

I have given lectures and seminars at LSHTM, Imperial College London, University College London, the University of Hong Kong in Hong Kong, the Institute of Tropical Medicine and International Health in Germany, and the International Vaccine Institute in South Korea.
