What is your main area(s) of interest/expertise?
My career has focused on combating diseases of poverty through the generation of high-quality evidence. I have worked in Industry, academia and UN organisations. With my team and our partners, we work to drive better health outcomes in vulnerable communities by enabling local leadership and ground-up implementation of high-quality health research studies. Within the University of Oxford, I devised and lead The Global Health Network (www.TheGlobalHealthNetwork.org) which is a major international collaborative enterprise that sets out to improve health by improving research.
What are you working on right now?
In the current COVID-19 pandemic access to research should be equitable across the globe. The Global Health Network is leveraging research implementation in resource-limited settings by providing information, tools and resources and supporting research collaborations, developing priorities and designing studies. Since its inception, the hub offers a dedicated space for informed discussions focusing on research priorities across seven thematic areas, unanswered questions related to the evolution of the pandemic, and research efforts in low-resource settings. Through the hub, protocols and study resources have been shared and this has led to a crowdsourcing initiative where research groups can contribute approaches, SOPs and training resources to support faster implementation of research studies.
