Research
I am an infectious disease epidemiologist, based at the Department of Veterinary Medicine in Cambridge. My research focuses on the epidemiology and control of bacterial meningitis and other vaccine-preventable diseases. I use a variety of methods including mathematical modelling, cost-effectiveness studies, analyses of large databases and seroprevalence studies.
