I am an interdisciplinary researcher whose work is at the intersection of international law, public policy, and global health. I am primarily interested in global health crises and the impact of law in curbing inequalities. I often use a human rights framework in my analysis. I am a Fellow of the Academy of Social Sciences (FAcSS)

I am currently leading and co leading several funded projects including as PI on a Wellcome funded interdisciplinary research project on health apps in Sub Saharan Africa. PI on ESRC funded project on Advancing health data justice: A comparative study of health-related data governance in Canada, Germany and the UK and CO I on After the end: Lived experiences and aftermaths of diseases, disasters and drugs in global health My work won the Feminist Legal Prize in 2024 with Ania Zbyszewska for our work that called for a re imagining of supply chains in accordance with feminist approaches that place care at the centre of supply chains for pandemics as being central to imagining Global Health law.

I am interested in supervising doctoral students whose work broadly relates to Global Health Law.
