Dr. Alison Castle is an infectious disease physician at Massachusetts General Hospital and collaborator at the Africa Health Research Institute in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Her research interests focus on the relationships between infectious diseases and chronic, noncommunicable diseases in rural KwaZulu-Natal, with a particular focus on tuberculosis, HIV, and diabetes.
