Research Summary

(inferred from publications by AI)

The researcher's comprehensive research focuses on a multidisciplinary approach encompassing infectious diseases (COVID-19, malaria), immunology (malaria vaccine development), maternal health, and nutrition. Their work evaluates the impact of vaccines on child health outcomes, particularly in Ghana, while examining vaccination uptake and child nutrition factors that influence vaccination behavior. The researcher also investigates vector-borne diseases like Kawasaki syndrome and associated complications, contributing to public health strategies aimed at reducing mortality after establishing an emergency unit and decreasing neonatal mortality rates.
