Project Summary

My interest is on developing statistical models to explore the interactions between infection, immune response and pathological biomarkers associated with Schistosoma haematobiuminfection. The findings will have important implications for the improvement of current intervention strategies to control neglected tropical diseases and the design of future studies. My background is in Applied statistics and Biostatistics. Previously, I have worked as a Statistical Research Consultant, Statistician, Data Analyst and Reward Consultant (Strategic Information Services). I enjoy working and connecting with professionals from across different research fields.
