After dedicating a decade to the study of neglected tropical disease biomarkers, I have transitioned from my academic lectureship at Imperial College London to a multifaceted role at the Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute. This new position combines research, teaching and the provision of development assistance in the global health landscape and beyond. Over the past five years, my primary research focus and passion have revolved around the role and responsibility of academia and research in today's ever-evolving global environment.
