Associate Professor
Head of EIRG
I lead the Economics and Implementation Research Group (EIRG) at the Mahidol Oxford Tropical Medicine Research Unit in Bangkok, Thailand. EIRG focuses on the evaluation of diagnostics, treatments and vaccines for malaria and other infectious diseases. These evaluations are pursued using a variety of approaches ranging from economic and epidemiological modelling through laboratory investigations to clinical trials and qualitative research. Our ultimate aim is to provide policy makers with pragmatic and context specific assessments of the impact of new interventions if implemented in routine care. Where relevant we strive to take a broader view of the costs and benefits of new interventions accounting for factors such as their indirect impact on disease transmission and antimicrobial resistance, and how the interventions’ cost-effectiveness varies in different epidemiological and socio-economic settings, and in response to contextual factors such as health seeking behaviour and health workers' compliance with diagnostic test results and treatment guidelines.
