Bio
My major academic interests are in the development of a better understanding of the pathophysiology underlying chronic and acute childhood malnutrition, improving the diagnosis and treatment of malnourished children, and improvements in the diagnosis and management of tropical infectious diseases. The majority of my research experience in these domains has come in the conduct of large clinical trials in rural Malawi as well as in smaller hospital-based cohort studies to complement my clinical experience caring for children and adults in austere settings around the world. I serve as an advisor and consultant to UNICEF, Action Against Hunger, Médecins Sans Frontières, the Alliance for International Medical Action, and Friends Without a Border.
My clinical work abroad has spanned numerous countries and settings, including emergency care in Haiti, directing an Ebola Treatment Centre in Sierra Leone, and primary care in a Rohingya refugee camp in Bangladesh, but I am most passionate about training of local health care providers in evidence-based cost-effective care that maximizes survival and human potential. I took an academic sabbatical to manage clinical operations in rural Liberia for Partners in Health and then as the Medical Director and Executive Director of Lao Friends Hospital for Children in 2017-2019, before moving to Seattle in January 2020.
