Rate My Professor Poppy Lamberton

Lamberton's contributions extend to collaborative efforts with anthropologists, economists, social scientists, and engineers to address human behaviors in risk management, socioeconomic drivers of transmission, and community-level sanitation interventions. Notable publications include 'Soil-transmitted helminth infections' in The Lancet (2018, over 1,100 citations), 'Reduced Efficacy of Praziquantel Against Schistosoma mansoni Is Associated With Multiple Rounds of Mass Drug Administration' in Clinical Infectious Diseases (2016), 'Unravelling the true biopsychosocial impact of schistosomiasis' in Trends in Parasitology (2026), and 'The associations between Schistosoma mansoni infection, pre-treatment symptoms, praziquantel side effects, and treatment efficacy in Ugandan school-aged children' in PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases (2025). Funded by prestigious grants such as the European Research Council Starting Grant and Global Challenges Research Fund, her work influences NTD control policies globally. She advises the Scottish Schistosomiasis National Advice, Investigation and Liaison Group (SNAIL) and leads international collaborations tackling schistosomiasis persistence.
