What I do:

PhD project on rabies surveillance and control programs and their sustainability using a One Health approach.


Research Interests:

I am interested specifically in One Health and how this can be applied to improve the prevention and control of infectious diseases. I am particularly interested in having a broad view over different topics and research areas to contribute to my research and knowledge.

What I do:

I am developing methods to better understand accessory genome evolution. By analysing non-SNP variation, namely the gain and loss of whole genes and mobile elements, within a phylogenetic framework, my work aims to characterise evolutionary rates in the accessory genome and to examine how gene gain/loss and selection give rise to the variation observed in bacterial accessory genomes over different timescales.

What I do:

I am currently working as a Research Assistant for Dr Caroline Trotter to investigate the epidemiology of pneumococcal disease in Africa. We are currently working to review existing pneumococcal data sets from the African meningitis belt and use this data to analyses prevention and control strategies of pneumococcal disease/outbreaks with a focus on displaced populations.
