Research

  • My main research interest is migrant health with a particular focus on the
    evaluation of public health interventions aimed to improve the health of
    migrants at different levels of care (Primary care, antenatal care, blood
    banks…). In the past years I gained experience in the development
    systematic reviews and evidence-based guidance on screening of infectious
    diseases in migrant populations. Among others, I have collaborated with ECDC
    in the development of European guidelines for the screening of infectious
    diseases in migrants. More recently, my research interest has also focused
    on the design of innovative tools or devices to improve migrant health
    interventions.
