Miss Hira Tanvir

Research Assistant

United Kingdom

I am a research assistant at LSHTM working on sub-clinical TB and TB vaccine impact modelling. My background is in Computational Ecology and Evolution (MSc) and Biomedical Sciences (BSc, Hons). Previously I have worked on vaccine Impact modelling for Measles, Hib, Pneumococcal and Rota virus in low and middle-income countries, and I have also evaluated Covid-19 vaccination health-inequities in North-East London.

Research

I am passionate about researching the impact of vaccines on communicable diseases and identifying effective strategies to control their spread and lessen their burden. My focus is on addressing the specific needs of low and middle-income countries. Additionally, I am dedicated to uncovering and tackling health disparities at the subnational level, considering factors such as gender, ethnicity, age, and socioeconomic status.
