Bio
I am an Infectious Disease Scientist working on tuberculosis (TB) and TB/HIV coinfection. My research has focused on the molecular epidemiology of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in regions of Southern Africa. Much of this work has provided new insights on the population structure of drug-susceptible and –resistant TB. While working at The Aurum Institute where I am currently a Chief Specialist Scientist, the molecular and epidemiologic data were combined to describe M. tuberculosis genetic diversity, estimate transmission and examine risk factors for transmission in special populations. Subsequent work involved evaluating strategies for diagnosing TB and impact on patient outcomes and this work allowed an understanding of the challenges of detecting TB disease with existing tools and within existing health system structures. My current work focuses on 1) TB case finding in primary health care settings, combining evaluation of new tools and appropriate diagnostic algorithms 2) linkage to TB care following diagnosis 3) understanding resistance to M. tuberculosis infection and 4) approaches to preventing TB infection in high-risk groups. I have contributed as a principal investigator and investigator on the projects and successfully administered the projects (through staffing, mentoring research teams, designing effective data collection approaches and overseeing the implementation), collaborated with other researchers and produced several peer-reviewed publications. I have joint appointments at University of Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa and Vanderbilt University, Tennessee, USA.
