The main focus of my research is utilising field epidemiological data, laboratory experiments and population genetics to understand population structure, transmission dynamics and the effects of long-term mass drug administration on neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) such as schistosomiasis, soil-transmitted helminths and onchocerciasis.
I am currently funded by a five year (2016-2021) European Research Council Starting Grant investigating ‘New approaches to characterise Schistosoma mansoni infections persisting despite mass drug administration’.
