Biography

My research interest is focused on precision-based global health and the application of epidemiological methods to examine patterns of morbidity, mortality, health inequities and their potential effects among vulnerable populations of children, women and men. Past and current work have focused on HIV, HCV, tuberculosis, other comorbidities, and the social, political, and economic determinants of health that lie at the crossroads of these diseases. I am also interested in the methodological aspects of study designs in observational and experimental epidemiology, and how to improve the use of linked health administrative data in research.
