Philipa is Assistant Professor in International Development. Her research interests include universal health coverage, health care financing, equity in access to health care, migrant and refugee health and the impact of the financial crisis on health systems. She is leader of the "Global Health and Development" course at the LSE.
Between 2011 and 2014 she was scientific coordinator of Health Inc. (Financing health care for inclusion), a large EU funded research project which explored how social exclusion restricts access to health services despite recent health financing reforms in Ghana, Senegal and the Indian states of Maharashtra and Karnataka.

Philipa completed a PhD at the LSE, focusing on community-based health insurance and social capital in Senegal.
