Research
Professor Philip Hill holds separate qualifications as a medical practitioner (MBChB), specialist public health physician (MPH; FAFPHM; FNZCPHM), specialist infectious diseases physician (FRACP), as well as a doctorate in the epidemiology of tuberculosis in The Gambia (MD). He is a fellow of the Royal Society of New Zealand (FRSNZ). After completing specialty training in New Zealand, he spent 6 years working as a clinical epidemiologist at the Medical Research Council (UK) research unit in The Gambia, working on tuberculosis (TB) and pneumonia projects.
Professor Hill is the first holder of the McAuley Chair in International Health and is Founding Director and Co-Director of the Centre for International Health at the University of Otago. He is involved in research projects in Africa, Asia, Europe, South America and the Pacific. He is also Adjunct Professor in the new Communicable Diseases Research Centre at the Fiji National University, spending 20% of his time helping to build the new Centre. His major collaboration is in TB research with the TB-HIV research centre of the University of Padjadjaran, Bandung, Indonesia. This collaboration is focusing on moving from observational studies to intervention trials, with a number intervention projects now underway.
Professor Hill has published around 250 articles in peer reviewed journals. His research interests include studies of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection and disease, Streptococcus pneumoniae carriage, disease and vaccination. Professor Hill has been a Lead or Co-Investigator on grants from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, MRC (UK), European Commission, DFID (UK), The Canadian Institutes of Health Research, The European and Developing Countries Clinical Trials Partnership, the New Zealand Health Research Council, the Marsden Fund (Royal Society of New Zealand), The National Health and Medical Research Council (Australia), the Department for Foreign Affaris and Trade (Australia) and the Global Fund.
In 2008 Professor Hill established the Otago International Health Research Network of over 100 researchers across all four divisions of the University, with an interest in health research in low-and middle-income countries. This Network has been renamed the Otago Global Health Institute and is now one of 12 flagship research centres of the University. He is currently Co-Director of the Institute.
Professor Hill has a special interest in training people from low resource settings at masters’ and PhD level, with a view to them becoming internationally competitive academic leaders back in their home country. He has supervised over 30 masters’ and PhD students, who have had a very high completion and publication rate. He welcomes new enquiries from prospective students.
