Our Team

We are a diverse group of scholars working across several grant funded research projects with expertise in epidemiology, public health, disease prevention, systems science, implementation research, social science, legal analysis and knowledge mobilization focused on the prevention of disease at the global level. Through meaningful partnership and applying multiple disciplinary approaches and methods, we hope to support policy and practice to overcome our most challenging global health challenges.
