Bridget Wills is Professor of Tropical Medicine and Honorary Consultant in Paediatrics at the Centre for Tropical Medicine and Global Health, University of Oxford. She trained in paediatrics and infectious diseases in the UK and worked at the Oxford University Clinical Research Unit in Ho Chi Minh City, Viet Nam, for more than 20 years before returning to Oxford five years ago. Her clinical research has focused primarily on dengue, and incorporates studies directed towards improving diagnosis and risk prediction for severe dengue, randomised trials of therapeutic interventions designed to improve dengue management, and research to investigate the pathophysiological mechanisms responsible for the major complications of dengue. Latterly, she has focused on exploring the potential for establishing dengue human challenge studies in endemic settings like Viet Nam.
