Anaemia, malaria and HIV affect millions of people worldwide, but interactions between these conditions are poorly understood. A haematologist with training in public health, my interest is in finding ways to control the enormous global burden of anaemia. My research will focus on how iron status influences infection with malaria and HIV. It will provide evidence for anaemia control guidelines and help improve global policies for controlling iron deficiency where these infections coexist.

贫血、疟疾和艾滋病毒影响着全世界数百万人，但人们对这些疾病之间的相互作用知之甚少。作为一名接受过公共卫生培训的血液学家，我的兴趣是找到控制贫血这一巨大全球负担的方法。我的研究将集中在铁状态如何影响疟疾和艾滋病毒感染。它将为贫血控制指南提供证据，并有助于改善控制这些感染共存的缺铁症的全球政策。
