About me

Infectious Diseases Epidemiologist
I'm an Infectious Diseases Epidemiologist, with a focus on paediatric
pneumonia diagnosis, treatment and management in sub-Saharan Africa. I've
worked in Malawi since 2012 on various research projects, including vaccine
effectiveness studies, piloting and re-designing novel diagnostic
techonologies, and developing predictive algorithms to improve treatment
decision making. I am particularly interested in clinical research conducted
at the community level.

Research

I am currently working on emergency care for children within primary
healthcare settings in Malawi, to improve the identification of severely sick
children, and understanding the referral pathways. I also co-lead a project
in Nigeria with the aim of reducing pneumonia-specific mortality in children
in Lagos and Jigawa states.
