My research focuses on generating actionable evidence to support decision-making processes for the adoption and scale-up of interventions that increase resource allocation efficiency and improve access to healthcare.
How can my research help make better decisions? First, we identify a gap in access to care (e.g., vaccines, drugs to treat a disease) and the possible alternatives to cover it. Second, I use economic analysis, and sometimes disease modeling, in combination with decision sciences to determine which alternative is the most effective at providing access to care, and which one creates the highest return of investment. Third, we work with decision-makers and stakeholders to share our research findings and find possible pathways for implementation.
