My research goal is to eliminate parasitic worm infestations globally. These parasites cause substantial illness and affect the world's poorest people. Programs that drug treat infected individuals operate but these are neither effective nor sustainable. Our research has shown that additional measures, such as vaccination and health education, are needed and we aim to develop and field test a combination of interventions that will lead to their sustainable control and eventual elimination.

我的研究目标是在全球范围内消除寄生蠕虫侵扰。这些寄生虫会导致严重的疾病，影响世界上最贫穷的人。药物治疗感染者的项目正在运作，但这些项目既不有效，也不可持续。我们的研究表明，需要采取更多的措施，如接种疫苗和健康教育，我们的目标是开发和实地测试一系列干预措施，以实现对这些疾病的可持续控制和最终消除。
