Overview

I am a paediatric registrar and NIHR Academic Clinical Lecturer in paediatric infection and immunity at St. George's University, London. 

My academic and clinical interests are around congenital infections, neglected tropical diseases, health inequalities and migrant health.

In 2010, as part of an MSc in Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) I travelled to the Peruvian Andes to undertake the first systematic review on Peruvian Bartonellosis.

From 2014-2017 I lived in Brazil where I did my PhD on congenital Zika syndrome, studying the perinatal outcomes of a Zika pregnancy cohort in the state of Sao Paulo.

Since then, I have continued to work with teams in Brazil, LSHTM and WHO to study the long term consequences for children born with congenital Zika infection and the wider impacts on their families and societies.

My more recent academic and clinical interests are around migrant health and health inequalities and I am studying large primary care datasets in order to compare patterns of paediatric primary and secondary healthcare usage between migrants and non-migrants in the UK. As a volunteer with Doctors of the World, I have also been analysing maternal and postnatal outcomes of undocumented migrants in the UK.

In the last year I have also been working on the ‘Respond’ Refugee Family Project at UCLH which has involved qualitative research and the design of pathways for newly arrived asylum seeking children and young people to better understand and meet their needs in terms of infectious disease screening, mental health assessments and safeguarding.

During my ACL, I also plan to work with the UKHSA to study current patterns of COVID and primary immunisation uptake in the UK by deprivation index and ethnicity.
