Overview
overview
I am an infectious disease epidemiologist.

My interests are in tuberculosis (TB) research and the use of data to promote evidence-based decision making and health equity. I lead a project on the use of data and analytics in setting health priorities in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). I also work on model development for evaluating the impact of contact tracing and preventive therapy interventions against the spread of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB). MDR-TB is TB resistant to (at least) isoniazid and rifampin, the two most potent anti-TB drugs, and is a major global health concern.

Towards health equity, I am also been involved in various efforts to strengthen analytics capacity in LMICs. One of such is the UGHE (University of Global Health Equity, Rwanda)/Harvard training course in mathematical modeling of infectious disease transmission which trained public health leaders in East Africa to competently use data to respond to emerging disease threats.

Publications listed below are automatically derived from MEDLINE/PubMed and other sources, which might result in incorrect or missing publications. Faculty can login to make corrections and additions.

PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication. Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.) Click a Field or Translation tag to filter the publications.
