Research interests and activities

Michael is a public health physician and Professor in the Department of Public Health, University of Otago, Wellington. He is passionate about opportunities to organise society in ways that promote health, equity and sustainability.

Michael has been a full-time staff member at the University of Otago since 2003. In 2015 he was the NZ-UK Link Foundation Visiting Professor at the School of Advanced Study (SAS), University of London. In 2023 he was a visiting Fellow at the Norwegian Centre for Advanced Study (CAS). And in 2026 he has taken up a Fulbright Scholar Award to the Harvard University Centre for Communicable Disease Dynamics.

His work during 2020–22 was dominated by assisting with the Covid-19 pandemic response. Michael was a member of the Ministry of Health's COVID-19 Technical Advisory Group and a leading architect and advocate for the Covid-19 elimination strategy. He established a programme of research on the epidemiology, prevention and control of Covid-19 in NZ and internationally (Co-Search), which generated a large amount of published research and commentary aimed at improving the pandemic response.

Michael has a wide range of public health research interests, with a focus on infectious diseases, environmental health, improving housing conditions and addressing the commercial determinants of health. Specific research areas include:

Infectious disease epidemiology
Covid‑19, including epidemiology and control strategies
Emerging infectious diseases, including pandemic influenza
Food safety and enteric diseases, e.g. campylobacteriosis
Zoonoses and One Health
Immunisation and vaccine preventable diseases
Health effects of household crowding, healthy housing
Rheumatic fever prevention including the role of skin infections
Chronic effects of infectious diseases and syndemics
Seasonality of disease and health effects of climate change
Environmental health, drinking water quality, e.g. nitrates
Drug law reform and harm minimisation, e.g. needle exchange programme
Public health infrastructure e.g. surveillance, outbreak investigation
Global health security, e.g. the International Health Regulations

Michael has a strong interest in science communication. In 2023 he launched the Public Health Communications Centre where he is its inaugural director.

Michael has worked in a range of roles, including being a medical advisor to a Minister of Health, for regional public health services, at a Crown Research Institute (ESR, now PHF Science), and for the World Health Organization in Manila and Geneva. His current positions include:

Director, Health Protection Aotearoa Research Centre (HPARC)
Director, Public Health Communication Centre (PHCC)
Co-Director, University of Otago Public Health Summer School
Lead Investigator, Co-Search Programme
Principal Investigator, SYMBIOTIC Programme (Health Research Council funded)
Convenor, University of Otago Health Protection paper (PUBH734)
Board Member, NZ Drug Foundation
Member, World Health Organization (WHO) Regional Verification Commission for Measles Elimination
Member of the Ministry of Health's Pandemic Advisory Group
