My vision as a paediatrician and infectious diseases epidemiologist is to see equitable and effective protection against vaccine preventable diseases in the low- and middle-income countries of tropical Africa.
My work to date has been on investigating the epidemiology of vaccine preventable childhood diseases, conducting epidemiological evaluation of vaccines; and on demonstrating the utility of seroepidemiology for monitoring vaccination and profiling population immunity; all for informing vaccine policy.
I serve in various advisory roles in the area of vaccines and immunisation at national, continental and global levels for example, on the WHO African Region's Regional Immunisation Technical Advisory Group.
Proven significant experience of multidisciplinary collaboration in the area of immunisation for research and policy. Experience in research project management including managing multiple research projects; significant involvement in design and implementation of large-scale projects in infectious diseases epidemiology.
