Background
I am a clinical epidemiologist with training in Internal Medicine (University of Colorado, Denver), Infectious Diseases (University of California, San Francisco), and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM). Since 1999, I have been involved in research on malaria in Uganda and am currently based in Kampala with the MU-UCSF Research Collaboration and Uganda Malaria Surveillance Project at Mulago Hospital. I was previously affiliated with the University of California, San Francisco as an assistant adjunct professor in the Department of Medicine at San Francisco General Hospital.

Teaching
Distance Based Learning in Infectious Diseases.

Research
My research interests include clinical trials of antimalarial drug efficacy, safety, and tolerability; evaluation of home-based management of fever/malaria; pharmacovigilance of antimalarial drugs; intermittent preventive treatment of schoolchildren; validation of verbal autopsy procedures for determining mortality.
