I am a Thoracic Physician and researcher . My current research that is the basis of my PhD is the cohort study "Pulmones Post TB", which will examine the relationship between chronic respiratory disease and allergy among an urban population of urban Lima with and without exposure to pulmonary tuberculosis disease. This is a collaborative study between the University of Sydney, Partners in Health, Harvard University, NHMRC TB-CRE and the Peruvian ministry of health.
