OVERVIEW

I am a Professor of Global Child Health at Imperial College London, a Professor Extraordinatory at Stellenbosch University at the Desmond Tutu TB Centre (Department of Paediatrics and Child Health), and a Consultant in Paediatric Infectious Diseases at St. Mary’s Hospital in London. My research focusses on children with TB, including TB diagnostics, TB therapeutics, advanced imaging for child TB, drug-resistant TB, TB meningitis, adolescent TB, TB burden modelling and the evaluation of TB biomarkers. I studied medicine at Cambridge University and Imperial College London and have trained in paediatric infectious diseases at centres of excellence in the United Kingdom, with extensive clinical experience in low resource settings.
