Kwabena joined the Electronic Health Records group in the Department of Non-Communicable Epidemiology in April 2024 as a Research Fellow. His research interests include using routinely collected observational data with robust causal inferential approaches to estimate causal effects of interventions and exposures for public health decision making. He is currently working with Professor Charlotte Warren-Gash on a number of projects related to infections, brain health and frailty during old age, using UK electronic health data from the Clinical Practice Research Database (CPRD) and US Veterans Health Administration (VHA). He holds a PhD in Public Health from University of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban, South Africa. His PhD research focused on contributing evidence to inform targeted interventions and healthcare policy to improve STI care in limited resource and HIV endemic settings in Sub-Saharan Africa. The evidence generated from his PhD involved identfying important risk factors for STI transmission and determing the impact of point-of-care testing for promt STI care versus centralised laboratory-based testing in South Africa.
