Miss Jessica Gerard

Research Assistant

United Kingdom

I am currently performing in-depth analysis on the links between current and projected environmental change and health outcomes for the Evidence for Policy Action on Climate Change and Health project. This team's research will produce high quality research briefs and other outputs to guide and support policy action in Kenya. I am working with Dr. Ariel Brunn and the African Institute for Development Policy.

I hold an MSc in Control of Infectious Diseases from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and a BSc in Public Health and International Development from the Tulane University. I have previously conducted research in South and North America relating to climate change, urban planning and both communicable and non-communicable health risks.
