Sergi Alonso

Dr. Sergi Alonso is a Research Associate in Infectious Disease Ecology at the University of Glasgow. His work focuses on public health economics, policy analysis, and tropical disease control. He has expertise in evaluating interventions for malaria, schistosomiasis, and other neglected tropical diseases, with a particular emphasis on cost-effectiveness, health system impacts, and policy design. His research spans multiple countries including Mozambique, Uganda, and Morocco.

Key areas of investigation include the economic burden of diseases, the impact of health policies on population outcomes, and the optimization of healthcare resource allocation. Recent studies address schistosomiasis elimination policies, salt reduction programs in England, and malaria control strategies in high-transmission regions. Alonso collaborates extensively with international researchers and institutions to inform evidence-based public health decisions.

His advisory roles include supervising students such as Praise Adeolu Adeyemo and Raheema Chunara, focusing on topics like policy influence on disease interventions and qualitative methods in health engineering. Alonso’s interdisciplinary approach bridges epidemiology, economics, and policy to tackle complex global health challenges.
