Reader in Global Health
Dr Hallett works on the epidemiology of HIV, m ostly in sub-Saharan Africa. Current primary research interests are in the evaluation of large-scale interventions, epidemic surveillance, combination prevention inter ventions and estimating the future course, cost and demographic impact of the epidemic.
Research Fellow
Dr Hollingsworth uses mathematical models to inform the design of public health interventions for malaria. She also investigates the role of variability in life history in the transmission of HIV and the control of outbreaks of directly transmitted pathogens, for example, the impact of travel advisories on the international spread of SARS.
RCUK Fellowship
Dr Rhodes has been associated with the group since 1994. He is also based in biomathematics programme the Inst itute of Mathematical Sciences at the South Kensington campus. His main research interests are modelling the spread of communicable diseases in human and wildlife populations.
Dr Peter White
Health Protection Agency/ Lecturer in Infectious Disease Epidemiology
Dr White’s research interests are in sexually-transmitted infections, HIV, and TB, in the UK, Peru and USA. He collaborates with the University of Washington, Seattle; UCSD; UCLA; UPCH, Lima, Peru; University College London; King’s College London; the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the UK Health Protection Agency on projec ts funded by the Wellcome Trust, MRC and NIH.
