Infection control can be considered at the practice (e.g., hospital), national, and global levels. Imperial researchers are working here and abroad to inform, establish, and use infection control measures and national programmes to improve outcomes.
Researchers include:
- Professor Alison Holmes: Local, national and international practice
- Dr Aula Abbara: Systems strengthening to tackle AMR in low resource/ conflict settings
- Dr Nim Arinaminpathy: National TB control programmes
- Professor Darius Armstrong-James: Anti-fungal stewardship services and national stewardship roles (ESPAU, NHSE adviser)
- Professor Paul Aylin: Use of data in the management and monitoring of healthcare in the UK and internationally
- Dr Gabriel Birgand: Knowledge and perception of AMR among healthcare professionals
- Dr Sara Boyd: Use of resistance surveillance, diagnostics, stewardship, and pharmacokinetics-pharmacodynamics (PK-PD) to improve antimicrobial therapies for patients
- Professor Graham Cooke: Policy on antibiotic use
- Dr Nick Croucher: Mathematical modelling of AMR, including the impact of vaccination
- Dr Frances Davies: Optimising the care of patients with multi-drug resistant organisms; translating research findings back to patient care
