1. Dr. Hlengiwe Madlala
   I am based in Cape Town, South Africa. Prior to joining The Lancet Group, I worked at the University of Cape Town (UCT) for 10 years, starting as a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Human Biology, and progressing through several research and academic roles before becoming a Senior Lecturer in the Division of Epidemiology and Biostatistics. I have a BSc in Biomedical Sciences, MSc and PhD degrees in Human Physiology from the University of KwaZulu-Natal, completing part of my doctoral research at KU Leuven in Belgium. I also obtained an MPH in Epidemiology and Biostatistics from UCT and an MBA from Management College of Southern Africa. I have 38 publications in maternal and child health, HIV, and cardiometabolic disease research. I am passionate about research that addresses pressing public health challenges impacting underrepresented populations.
