-Managing infectious disease modelling strategic focus areas, including vector/mosquito-borne diseases, neglected tropical diseases and TB.-Shaping, building and managing multi-million infectious disease modelling portfolio focused on reducing the impact of infectious diseases, particularly in LMICs.-Providing epidemiology and modelling expertise across the organisation.-Collaborating with key stakeholders to increase impact.-Engaging with researchers, and maintaining/building knowledge in key research areas and gaps.-Mentoring junior members of the team.

-Focused on global COVID-19 vaccine impact.-Provided and translated technical modelling insights for key partners and stakeholders.-Estimated COVID-19 vaccine impact to date and forecasted scenarios to inform future vaccination strategies.

-Assessed the impact of vaccination (number of lives saved) for 12 vaccine preventable diseases across 112 countries. -Investigated different routes to recovery for vaccine-preventable diseases following disruptions to routine immunisation coverage due to the COVID-19 pandemic.-Outputs were used to inform funders and policy makers.

My research with the Neglected Tropical Disease (NTD) Modelling Consortium focused on providing insight to inform policy and decision makers on key priority questions regarding treatment strategies required to achieve control and elimination of NTDs. I managed the schistosomiasis workstream and led work on cross-cutting disease areas covering 7 NTDs, and collaborating with all members of the consortium.

As a mathematical modeller within the Neglected Tropical Disease (NTD) Modelling Consortium, my research focused on providing insight on key priority questions regarding treatment strategies required to achieve control and elimination of schistosomiasis. Schistosomiasis remains an endemic parasitic disease affecting millions of people. Modelling insights were used to inform schistosomiasis policy, treatment and monitoring and evaluation guidelines.
