Global Health

I am in my final year of my PhD working on modelling and epidemiology for infant immunisation in England. I have used a previously developed model to estimate the potential number cases prevented by an infant MenACWY vaccine. I also developed my own varicella and herpes zoster model to investigate the impact of adding a varicella containing vaccine to the infant immunisation schedule. Following the transmission modelling I also developed a health economic model to investigate the cost effectiveness of this programme. 

I am a South African-trained clinician-scientist with an interest in infectious diseases, immunology, and vaccines. I am currently a PhD student in Professor Jonathan Heeney's group, where I am examining immune correlates of protection to COVID-19 and potential strategies for broadening protection of future vaccines.

Charlie Artingstoll runs Sin Sar Bar — a social change organisation in Myanmar. His work focuses on taking important ideas and concepts, and finding creative ways to communicate them to the general public across multiple channels and also multiple languages. Key to his approach is working together with grassroots civil society organisations to ensure that the messages reach the right people in ways that people best understand.

Olivier Restif is the Alborada Associate Professor in Epidemiology at the Department of Veterinary Medicine, and has broad expertise in the use of mathematical and statistical models to study the dynamics if infectious diseases. He leads a diverse, multi-disciplinary team working on a range of diseases in people, livestock and wildlife within a One Health framework. Current research projects include wildlife reservoir of zoonotic diseases, dog rabies and antimicrobial resistance in zoonotic bacteria.
