I am a medical doctor and joined the LSHTM, for the first time, in 2010 as a student of the MSc in Tropical Medicine and International Health. I have worked for three years, both as a clinician and as researcher, in Mozambique, where I led and coordinated numerous studies and trials mainly focused on HIV and malaria. I completed my PhD at the University of Barcelona in 2016, which assessed the effect of maternal malaria and HIV on infant's health in sub-Saharan Africa. I have worked for the Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal) and, more recently, at the University of Cambridge, conducting various population-based studies in Africa. I joined LSHTM in 2018 as scientific coordinator of the TREATS project, which aims to measure the impact of an HIV/TB preventive intervention in the community on the burden of TB in Zambia and South Africa (https://treatsproject.org/) and leading several sub-studies on TB diagnostic tools. More recently, I have been working on operational research studies on implementation of TB and COVID-19 bidirectional screening in Zambia.
