I am a biostatistician with the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, based in Malawi, where I lead the Statistical Support Unit at the Malawi Liverpool Wellcome Research Programme.
Great speech by our #SSACAB director at the opening ceremony of #IBSSUSAN2025.

Great speech by our #SSACAB director at the opening ceremony of #IBSSUSAN2025.
Opening ceremony of the #IBSSUSAN2025 conference in Addis Ababa. Looking forward to several days of exciting discussions with leading and up-and-coming biostatisticians in sub-Saharan Africa. Also great to see a strong #SSACAB representation, driving the future of biostatistics on the continent.

#ISCB46 very nice talk by Michael Kammer on COVID-19 prognostic models, which involved a ‘deep dive’ into the pond life of modelling.
Bottom line: “If looking for reliable models, don’t hold your breath.”

Ready for the #STRATOS session tomorrow at #JSM2025 💪 - if you are in Nashville, please come (6 August 2025, 10.30am, room CC-209B).
(I realise that parallel session speakers include @tibshirani.bsky.social and @hadley.nz - still: you should come to ours 😉.)

This is work that Patrick is building on to investigate associations between urban plastic waste and human health using remote sensing - exciting and important stuff!

There is wide recognition of the threats posed by the open dumping of waste in the environment. However, tools to surveil interventions for reducing this practice are poorly developed. This study expl...

Exciting to have contributed to this important work.
Just published. Our review estimated that vertical transmission of hepatitis B in the WHO African region could be eliminated with birth dose vaccination and maternal antiviral prophylaxis.
An exciting possibility- will we find the political will?

That's a wrap for #IBC2024ATL. A week of great, stimulating talks and I am looking forward to IBC2026 in Seoul (but before that the IBS SUSAN Conference in Ethiopia).
