Improving the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of infectious diseases in children

我是一名临床科学家，我的研究团队弥合了实验室和临床研究之间的差距，以减少全球儿童传染病的影响。在我的研究计划中的两个主要主题是：1。改善资源贫乏地区儿童结核病的诊断。2. 了解用于预防结核病的卡介苗如何减少其他儿童疾病，包括非结核病感染、过敏、湿疹和哮喘。

I am a clinician scientist whose research team bridges the gap between laboratory and clinical research to reduce the impact of childhood infectious diseases worldwide. The two main themes within my research program are: 1. Improving the diagnosis of childhood tuberculosis (TB) in resource-poor settings. 2. Understanding how BCG, the vaccine used to protect against TB, reduces other childhood illnesses, including non-TB infections, allergies, eczema and asthma.
