Dr. Robert Verity is an Assistant Professor in the School of Public Health at Imperial College London, affiliated with the Faculty of Medicine. His research focuses on malaria parasite genetics, particularly using molecular surveillance to understand transmission dynamics. He leads projects like the SIMPLEGEN pipeline funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, aiming to optimize resource use in malaria research. His work integrates spatial data analysis, Bayesian methods, and population genetics to address global health challenges. During the pandemic, he contributed to early estimates of COVID-19 fatality rates as part of the Imperial College response team.
- Key affiliations: Imperial College Network of Excellence in Malaria, MRC Centre for Global Infectious Disease Analysis
- Current projects: Molecular inversion probes analysis in DRC, malaria drug resistance quantification
Research interests include Plasmodium falciparum population structure, antimalarial resistance mechanisms, and spatial epidemiology. His work bridges field data collection with advanced computational methods to inform public health strategies.
