Infection, Immunity and Global Health
Our work addresses important infectious diseases and immune and allergy problems that impact children both locally and globally.
Our research
Our research topics are broad, including;
- childhood respiratory disease (pneumonia, tuberculosis, cystic fibrosis)
- gastrointestinal disease (rotavirus and other enteric viruses, mucosal immunology, Helicobacter pylori)
- neglected tropical diseases (scabies, rheumatic fever, parasitic diseases)
- maternal and neonatal infections, vaccinology (vaccine discovery, vaccine clinical trials and evaluation, vaccine safety)
- infectious diseases modelling, operational and public health field research, and clinical infectious diseases
- immune therapies (peanut allergy, non-specific effects of BCG), investigation of how infections affect future health (especially cardiovascular health) among others.
Many of our research areas have particular relevance to disadvantaged populations, especially in low and middle-income countries, and we have an established track record and emerging program in Global Child Health.
