Summary
I am a PhD student in the Department of Infectious Disease Epidemiology, supervised by Nicholas Grassly, Neil Ferguson and Christl Donnelly.
I am interested in the role of pharmaceutical interventions, particularly vaccines, in the control of infectious diseases. My PhD focuses on the design of vaccine clinical trials in novel disease outbreaks.
Before starting my PhD, I completed my MSc Epidemiology at Imperial College London and my undergraduate degree in Biological Sciences at the University of Oxford. I also worked in public health research in the charity and pharmaceutical sectors.
