  • Sue WelburnExecutive Dean

    Sue Welburn   Executive Dean

    Responsibilities: ZJE strategy and development, faculty recruitment and annual assessment, undergraduate and postgraduate programmes, research affairs(including core facility and LAC management), international collaboration in research and translation, alumni network. 


    Professor Sue Welburn achieved her bachelors degree in Applied Biological Sciences from The University of the West of England in 1984. She started her academic career at the Tsetse Research Laboratories in Bristol, and obtained her PhD in 1991. She worked for several years at the University of Glasgow, before joining the University of Edinburgh in 2000.

    She established the Global Health Academy at The University of Edinburgh in 2009, which keys objectives are to offer world leading interdisciplinary postgraduate degrees to help combat global health challenges; engage in global collaborative research and participate and lead in the creation of global health networks and partnerships.

    Professor Welburn currently has projects in Uganda, Kenya, Nigeria, Zambia and Tanzania, focusing on interventions for disease control.

    Her research has focused on the interactions between parasites and their vectors and hosts that lead to transmission of human sleeping sickness. This has involved a dissection of the mechanisms of innate resistance of vectors to parasite infections and the complex interactions between host, vector and parasite that result in parasite differentiation, disease transmission and epidemiology and control. Recent research has concentrated on the design and use of molecular diagnostic tools for the study and management of sleeping sickness and animal trypanosomiasis, and integrated control methodologies for control of the Neglected Zoonoses. This has encompassed research ranging from ‘grass-roots’ fieldwork in Africa to laboratory-based dissection of the problems at the gene level.
