Miss Kathy Thomas
Research Assistant
United Kingdom
I am an epidemiologist with a particular focus on the implementation and evaluation of public health interventions. I am currently working in the TB Modelling Group conducting research to better understand how countries would implement a potential new TB vaccination. Prior to this, I have worked on the implementation of RSV vaccinations in community pharmacies in the UK and the evaluation of a multicomponent menstrual health intervention in Ugandan secondary schools (MENISCUS trial)
