Current Research Opportunities

  • Utilising data linkage to estimate antimicrobial resistance burden in paediatric populations
  • Antibiotic use and lower respiratory tract infections burden in children during Coronavirus (COVID-19)

Public outreach & key achievements

In 2016, I established and led the first global paediatric surveillance program (Global Antimicrobial Resistance, Prescribing, and Efficacy Among Neonates and Children; GARPEC) to assess antibiotic use in hospitalized neonates and children. I have a number of papers published from my global projects (Lancet Infectious Diseases, Lancet Global Health, BMJ Global Health, WHO Bulletin).
