About the International and Immigrant Heath Group

Associate Professor Beverley-Ann Biggs leads a research group with interests in malaria, childhood immunisation, immigrant and refugee health, and clinical parasitology.

International health activities have been based in the Mekong countries and have focused on the introduction, evaluation and expanded use of new and under utilised vaccines, and strengthening capacity for research in control of malaria.
A new initiative will pilot regular deworming therapy and iron supplements in women of reproductive age in Yen Bai Province, Vietnam.

Refugee health projects have investigated the burden of undiagnosed nutritional deficiencies in immigrants from Cambodia, Afghanistan, Eastern Mediterranean region, and the Horn of Africa.
