I'm interested in:

👩‍💻 Mathematical modelling of infectious diseases

🦟 Vector-borne diseases, especially leishmaniasis, schistosomiasis, and arboviruses

🌍 How we can ensure that the broadest possible range of people contribute to, and benefit from, research

Across global health, let's act on the knowledge that researchers produce, working with communities affected by these diseases to ensure solutions are affordable, accessible and appropriate 🤝

Together we can #BeatNTDs.
