Dr Laura Garcia Alvarez is a post-doctoral researcher in Work-stream 3: Infection Surveillance which is using existing databases within Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust, the NHS, the HPA and elsewhere to develop predictive models which will enable identification of at risk patients and effectively direct early intervention.

As such Laura contributes to the successful running of the research group including specifically providing support to existing staff (Dr Raunaque Hasnat – CIPM Data Manager) and to PhD students in the work-stream (Carina King and Rachel Freeman).
