Biography: Marko qualified from UCL Medical School, where he first became interested in global health during student projects in India, Guyana and Serbia. After initially training in paediatrics, he spent several years working at the College of Medicine, Malawi where he developed his main research interest in child nutrition. As well as a PhD on Improving the treatment of severe acute malnutrition in childhood: a randomized controlled trial of synbiotic-enhanced therapeutic food with long term follow-up of post-treatment mortality and morbidity, he also recently worked on a UNICEF Nutrition Cluster funded project exploring the Management of Acute Malnutrition in Infants (MAMI). He is currently based in the UK working as a public health doctor and retains academic interests in global health.
