Jan Hendrik Richardus

Jan Hendrik Richardus is an active Researcher in the Department of Public Health at Erasmus MC, Erasmus University Rotterdam. His work focuses on infectious disease epidemiology with particular emphasis on leprosy and tuberculosis control in global health contexts.

His research interests span Infectious Diseases, Leprosy, Tuberculosis, Public Health Policy, and Epidemiology. Recent work demonstrates strong focus on diagnostic pathways in India and genetic susceptibility to leprosy in South Asia.

Analysis of his publication trends reveals sustained expertise in disease surveillance systems, household transmission dynamics, and public health interventions for neglected tropical diseases. His fingerprint analysis confirms deep specialization in Mycobacterium leprae research and post-exposure prophylaxis.

Richardus has supervised 39 research projects and produced 444 research outputs including 426 articles. His work appears in high-impact journals including EBioMedicine, International Journal of Public Health, and Scientific Reports.

Current research examines tuberculosis patient journeys in urban India and genetic factors in leprosy susceptibility, with recent fieldwork in Bangladesh and India. His team employs mixed-methods approaches combining molecular epidemiology with health systems analysis.
