My main research interest is developing new operational approaches for case detection and patient management for IDM-NTDs (Buruli ulcer, cutaneous leishmaniasis, leprosy, lymphatic fialariasis and yaws). I focus on developing new and cost-effective strategies for case finding and burden estimation using community health infrastructure. I also have a wider interest in all the health systems aspects that form part of the challenge of improving outcomes for IDM-NTD patients including health systems research and utilising social / implementation science approaches to better understand and optimise new interventions.

I am also interested in emerging infections, particularly non-invasive serological tools to undestand exposure and transmission of ebolavirus infections and
