Gabor Mihala
My PhD research aims to add to our understanding of the disease burden and causes of acute gastroenteritis (AGE) in healthy infants during the first two years of life. My research focuses on infants in a developed country following the introduction of rotavirus vaccination, including identifying enteric organisms that act as genuine pathogens, as well as demographic, clinical and environmental factors that may influence infection and the duration of the illness. The aims of the study are to identify the different ways that have been used to identify episodes of AGE in paediatric cohort studies, to describe the characteristics associated with AGE incidence and duration, and the healthcare burden associated with disease incidence and duration. Also, it aims to describe the time from birth until the first detection of intestinal pathogens, and to investigate the association between the stool-sample results and the observed symptoms and associated healthcare use.
Srinivas Teppala
I am a medical doctor with a research background in epidemiology, health outcomes research and big data analytics. Most of my early research was on novel biomarkers (liver enzymes and proteins) and endocrine disruptors (like Bisphenol A (BPA)) and their relationship to cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic kidney disease and sleep disorders. In recent years, I have been more interested in the translation of health care data towards evidence that could potentially improve clinical practice guidelines and health policy. Health Economics is an important avenue that guides both clinicians and policy makers towards making evidence-based decisions.
