Dr Laura Skrip

Assistant Professor

United Kingdom

I collaborate with social scientists, clinicians, basic science researchers, and communities to address contextually relevant questions about infectious disease spread, including through the use of mathematical models to quantify the potential impact of behaviour-focused tools and approaches on interrupting disease transmission. 

 

I have extensive experience working with national programs, including malaria control, immunization, and nutrition programs, as part of efforts to strengthen local capacity for evidence generation and utilization in post-Ebola Liberia. I have also studied barriers to building and sustaining capacity for advanced analysis to inform development of locally owned academic programs in West Africa.
