Personal information
Biography
I am a researcher with experience in epidemiology and immunization in, but not limited to, paediatrics population. I am currently a consultant at the World Health Organization headquarters (Implementation Research and Economic Analysis Team, Initiative for Vaccine Research, Immunization, Vaccines and Biologicals), working on a variety of immunization research. My work includes epidemiology and health economics of Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines, outbreak vaccines such as Ebola vaccines and Plague vaccines, etc. I have been an intern in the same department at the World Health Organization where I worked on updating a pertussis disease burden model.
I am a PhD graduate in Medical. My doctoral research focused on identifying barriers and finding ways to optimise the use of simple interventions for the prevention of pneumonia and diarrhoea in Hong Kong children. This research consisted of four separate epidemiological projects, two of which were the result of funded research grants that I helped write the proposal. I also helped prepare a further successfully funded grant to undertake an economic evaluation of rotavirus vaccine in Hong Kong children.
