I am a vaccine epidemiologist who has worked at all stages of vaccine development and roll-out: initial testing, clinical trials, post-licensure evaluation, and addressing barriers to vaccine uptake. My research focuses on the interplay between vaccination and infectious disease transmission dynamics. My recent work includes methodologic issues affecting variation in observed rotavirus vaccine effects and COVID-19 surveillance to monitor vaccine impacts on a national level and identify early signals of changes in vaccine effects.
