Innovative Approaches to Optimising Existing and New Antimalarial Therapies
Description: Malaria is a major global health problem, causing over 240 million cases and 600,000 deaths annually. The global malaria burden is rising, exacerbated by drug resistance and inadequate treatments. My research program will investigate safe and effective antimalarial treatments for falciparum and vivax malaria, inform the dosing regimens of new antimalarials, build research capacity and foster new leaders in the cross-disciplinary field of biostatistics and applied mathematics.
