- Research & Policy Advisor
I am a Research and Policy Advisor with the PSI Policy and Practice Research Group, working on the Pandemic PACT Programme. I previously supported with work on GloPID-R’s low- and middle-income country (LMIC) Working Group and the GloPID-R Regional Hubs. I trained and worked as a medical doctor in Ghana and graduated from the MSc programme in International Health and Tropical Medicine at the University of Oxford in 2020. I worked as freelance Research and Policy Assistant with the COVID-19 Research Coordination and Learning (COVID CIRCLE) initiative and a Research and Policy Officer with the GloPID-R Research & Policy Team, University of Oxford. I recently completed a DPhil programme in Clinical Medicine at the University of Oxford. My research interests are in exploring the use of systems approaches in the assessment of research funding processes during disease outbreaks.
