NEF Fellows Spotlight Session: Tolu Oni
Channel: Next Einstein Forum
Date: 2016-03-18

NEF Fellow Tolu Oni, a Public Health Physician Scientist and Urban epidemiologist at University of Cape Town shares her research journey from studying HIV/TB co-infection to urban health. Given the rapid and often unplanned urbanisation in African cities, and the potential impact on health, she argues for the need to investigate the causes of the causes of disease in urban areas. Her talk describes her intersectoral, "health in all policies" approach to developing and evaluating interventions in order to create health instead of simply managing disease in urban areas.
