Biography
Katherine Horton is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Infectious Disease Epidemiology at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. Her research focuses on understanding disease burden and identifying opportunities to improve access to TB prevention and care. She is the LSHTM principal investigator and modelling lead for The LIGHT Consortium and chairs the Union’s Gender Equity in TB working group. She also studies the role of early and asymptomatic TB in disease burden and transmission, diagnostic and treatment pathways, and other policy considerations.
Key Impacts
Comparing the relative epidemiological impact, costs and cost-effectiveness of TB interventions across three countries
By comparing impact and costs across intervention domains and settings with modern evidence, we highlight strong differences between interventions in terms of potential epidemiological impact and their costs-benefit, informing crucial discussions around prioritisation for funding, policy and product development.

Potential impact of community-wide screening approaches for TB: A modelling study across the spectrum of disease
Community-wide screening can contribute to rapid reductions in TB burden, with greater impact from approaches that reach larger proportions of the spectrum of disease.
