I am Honorary Professor at the UCL Bartlett Development Planning Unit supporting interdisciplinary postgraduate and doctoral teaching and research on health in urban planning and development for architects and planners. Until 2012 I was Reader of Ecology and Global Health at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) working at LSHTM from 1992. I continue leading LSHTM post-graduate teaching as a Module Organiser of LSHTM international in-house and distance learning MSc modules, including Globalisation & Health and LSHTM\'s core module on Health Policy, Power and Process. From 2009 to 2017 I was Visiting Full Professor of Ecology and Global Health of the National University of Tucumán (UNT) in Argentina working with indigenous communities across Latin America. I was Honorary Full Professor of the UCL Institute of Health Equity in London from 20••••16. I am a Fellow (by distinction) of the Faculty of Public Health Medicine of the Royal College of Physicians and International Fellow of the Royal Society of Medicine. In 2007 I was awarded the Royal Society Kohn Award for Excellence in Engagement of the Public in Science, and the Mayor of London Academic Excellence Award in public engagement - both awards were for my voluntary work with over 300 disadvantaged young people in London, supporting them to engage in science and advance to university. I have degrees from Cambridge University (BA and MA), and from London University (MSc and PhD). I started my work in India when I was 18 years old, working in a leprosy colony in India. I have lived and worked in Africa, Asia and Latin America for over 30 years, and have advised international UN agencies, including WHO, UNEP, UNDP, UNICEF, UNHabitat. My research supports NGO groups across the world, for example, I am international advisor to the Fundación de Ecología, Forestación y Medio-Ambiente, FUNDEFMA. I served on the founding executive board of the International Association of Ecology and Health (IAEH). I am on the board of six interdisciplinary international peer-reviewed journals.
