Goylette Chami
Infectious Disease Epidemiologist
My research aims to improve the lives of individuals at risk of lifelong diseases from infectious causes, focusing on the parasitic flatworm that causes a complex set of conditions called schistosomiasis. I lead the SchistoTrack Research Group where we bring together diverse expertise across parasitology, clinical and social epidemiology, statistical modelling, and machine learning. Schistosomiasis is a disease of poverty that is dependent on complex interactions between human behaviour, access to adequate health care, the environment, and individual biological and social characteristics. Before coming to Oxford, I was a Junior Research Fellow in Medical Sciences at Kings College within the University of Cambridge. I also received my MPhil and PhD from the University of Cambridge. If you would like to learn more about my work and my group please contact us or have a look at our website (https://www.bdi.ox.ac.uk/research/schistotrack) and visit these videos about our outreach.
