Rate My Professor Maria Leosoky

Professor Leosoky's research specializations lie in biostatistics, with particular emphasis on developing biostatistical methods for the longitudinal analysis of lung health and tuberculosis burdens in Africa, as well as applications of R programming. She has garnered major awards and fellowships, including the Academy of Medical Sciences Professorship scheme, the EDCTP Senior Fellowship (TMA2017SF-1959, 2018) for novel statistical approaches to lung health and TB risks, and the Newton Advanced Fellowship. With over 6,250 citations on Google Scholar, her key publications encompass 'The effect of pneumococcal conjugate vaccines' (Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine), 'Association of a cleaner-burning stove with blood pressure in adults' (2025), 'Screening for post-TB lung disease at TB treatment completion' (2024), 'A review of simulation models for the long-term consequences of tuberculosis' (2021), and contributions to initiatives like IMPALA, CHEST Africa, and PATS on respiratory and infectious diseases. Her work significantly impacts global health research, particularly in low- and middle-income countries through advanced modeling and international collaborations. She has also secured funding from organizations such as NIHR.
