About

I hold a joint position as Associate Professor of Infectious Disease Epidemiology and Dynamics at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine and Nagasaki University. My research area is vaccine impact modelling with a focus on estimating the health, economic, and equity impact of vaccination programmes to support evidence-based decision-making on vaccination strategies in collaboration with partners and stakeholders at the global, regional, and national levels. I have conducted impact assessments of existing and new vaccines to inform vaccine policy in diverse contextual, geographic, and resource settings. 

The vision of our Vaccine Value research group is to improve vaccine equity. Our mission is to assess the value of vaccines to support evidence-informed decision-making on new vaccine introductions and scaling up coverage of existing vaccines at the national, regional, and global levels. Our values centre on fostering a culture of co-creation in research and innovation, advancing open science, and bridging across disciplines, institutions, and national boundaries to catalyse the global ecosystem for improving vaccine equity and global health.

We welcome collaborations related to estimating the value of vaccination in diverse settings, and you are welcome to contact us.
