I am interested in environmental health and infectious diseases research including TB infection control and prevention. Currently, as a principal investigator, I am implementing two research projects on the influence of caring culture on healthcare and strategies to reduce lead exposures. I am also leading a project where our aim is to catalyse social change to comprehensively prevent lead exposure from multiple sources. I am also involved in a project to identify causes of death in human through minimally invasive tissue sampling where I am working in the social and behavioral science team.
