About

Neil French is a Professor of Infectious Disease & Global Health at the University of Liverpool School of Medicine, England. His research focuses on sepsis, antimicrobial resistance, and the effects of mass drug administration in childhood mortality contexts. Recent publications include investigations into pneumococcal disease dynamics following vaccine introductions and the long-term impacts of azithromycin mass distributions in various populations, particularly in Malawi.
