Profile

I am a Senior Lecturer in Global Public Health at QMUL’s Centre for Public Health and Policy. I have over 20 years of professional experience in academia and in the public and private sector, having previously worked for the University of Lisbon (Portugal), the Overseas Development Institute (UK), the Government of Mozambique, the Instituto Nacional de Salud Publica (Mexico), as well as for SmithKline Beecham Pharmaceuticals (Spain and the UK). I am currently Associate Editor for the journal Human Resources for Health.

Having trained as health economist at the University of York and London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, my recent work has focused on pharmaceutical policies and markets in low- and middle-income countries, the economics of human resources for health, health systems in low-income settings, and on global health aid architecture, with a geographical focus on African and Latin-American countries.

At QMUL, I teach Medicines and Pharmaceutical Markets, as well as Research Methods. Currently, I am the Principal Investigator for a research project on physician dual practice in Mozambique and South Africa, and Co-Investigator in a project on lay mental health interventions in Vietnam and Cambodia, both funded by the National Institute of Health Research. In the past, I led projects on the impact of the economic crisis on health system and workforce in Brazil (Medical Research Council), and on the impact of COVID-19 on the provision of health services in the African continent (UKRI).

Within WIPH, I am the lead for the PhD programme in Global Public Health, and QMUL health research area lead for the London Interdisciplinary Social Science Doctoral Training Programme.
