Global Health Research Team

RESEARCH COORDINATOR

VERA VODINSKAYA

Vera studies International Social and Political Studies with majors in Economics and French at UCL and is currently on exchange at Sciences Po Paris. Her interest in development stems from the fact that economic outcomes are directly linked with non-monetary indicators, including global health-related ones, allowing her to apply her studies to make an impact. She is particularly drawn to the Central Asian region and the influence of migration and monetary transfers on economic development.
