Malaria research
- Developed a multi-species spatially explicit economic-epidemiological model to support an investment case for malaria elimination in the Asia-Pacific region in collaboration with UCSF
- Developed a bespoke smartphone app for real time malaria surveillance data collection which has been adopted by the Cambodian national malaria control program.
- Vivax costing and cost-effectiveness – drawing on extensive costing data collected during the IMPROV/OPRA studies, we produced the most extensive findings to date on the costs of vivax malaria to household and facilities, the global costs of vivax malaria and cost-benefit analyses of radical cure.
- A simple deterministic model that can be used to compare the predicted impact of competing strategies for malaria elimination within minutes. This has a built-in front end designed such that it can be used by policy makers themselves
- A spatially explicit individual based model, with detailed intervention logistics. This simulation platform can reproduce any intervention at any scale given enough data. There is a quite significant trade-off between the level of detail and the time it takes to offer a recommendation to the NMCPs. This platform has been used to replicate the large TME (targeted malaria elimination) trial in the Thai-Myanmar border. Its within host component is also being developed further to account for intricate PK/PD dynamics of new triple malaria therapies.
