Genetics

What I do:

My primary research focus is on arboviruses (viruses spread by mosquitoes), including dengue, chikungunya and Zika viruses. I am using antibody titer data  (where there is no knowledge of prior infection) to develop mathematical and machine learning models, hoping to understand underlying patterns in the data and cluster samples according to the pathogen of infection.

What I do:

I am a medical doctor, specialised in Public Health Medicine (consultant level), and an applied infectious diseases epidemiologist who have worked in humanitarian crises with Médecins Sans Frontières/Doctors Without Borders in Amazonia-Brazil and Yemen.

What I do:

My research studies factors that shape infectious disease transmission through computational methods to inform public health policies. These include characteristics of the infectious disease agents, characteristics and changes in the host population, as well as interactions between multiple infectious agents.
