Research summary
I am a statistician based at Infectious Diseases Data Observatory (IDDO). I have a broad interest in epidemiology of infectious diseases (Malaria and Visceral Leishmaniasis in particular). My research has primarily focused on delineation of dose-response relationships for commonly used antimalarial drugs through individual participant data meta-analysis and assessment of safety of antileishmanial drugs.
Prior to my current role, I completed first and second degrees in Statistics from the University of Reading, spent a year at Safety Assessment and Pharmaceutical Development unit at GlaxoSmithKline supporting pre-clinical studies, and completed DPhil in Clinical Medicine on investigation of statistical issues in antimalarial clinical studies.
I was a Susan and George Brownlee Junior Research Fellow in Biomedical Sciences at Linacre College (2019-2021).
