Elizabeth Brickley is a Professor of Epidemiology & Planetary Health at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM, London, UK). Within the Department of Infectious Disease Epidemiology & International Health, Elizabeth directs the Health Equity Action Lab (www.healthequityactionlab.org), an interdisciplinary team conducting policy-relevant community-engaged research that critically examines the links between human health, poverty, and the environment. Elizabeth’s primary research aim is to better understand and eliminate infectious diseases, and her work has informed public health interventions targeting polio, Zika, leprosy, malaria, and COVID-19. In close collaboration with partners from Brazil’s Oswaldo Cruz Foundation, she is currently contributing to the development of CIDACS-Clima (https://cidacs.bahia.fiocruz.br/plataforma/plataforma-de-dados-climatic…), a large-scale linked data platform for studying the social and environmental determinants of health resilience to climate change. Elizabeth is committed to fostering an inclusive academic culture that embraces diversity and serves as a Decolonising the Curriculum Facilitator, an Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) Co-Lead of the LSHTM Press Steering Group (https://press.lshtm.ac.uk/), and an EDI Co-Lead of the Medical Research Council (MRC) London Intercollegiate Doctoral Training Partnership (https://mrc-lid.lshtm.ac.uk/).
