BIOGRAPHY

His unique interdisciplinary expertise translates in large clinical biomedical-science studies where state-of-the-art computational methods and digital health approaches combine with novel molecular high-throughput technologies to underpin discovery and validation of disease biomarkers, their mechanisms and their interventional use for improving childhood health in low and middle-income regions of sub-Saharan West-Africa. Delmiro’s work amalgamates global health paediatrics, infectious diseases, data-science, digital health and intelligent systems aimed at tackling Global Health Grand Challenges such as childhood life-threatening malaria and tuberculosis. He founded with Co-Investigators at COMUI (2006) the Childhood Malaria Research Group (CMRG), a world-leading clinical malaria and research unit based at the University College Hospital of Ibadan, Nigeria, that underpins his group’s research. DF-R moved his MRC funding and malaria research programme to UCL-CS (2015) where his academic and research activities are part of the UCL-CS Intelligent Systems Group and UCL Institute for Digital Health (IDH).
