Hayley MacGregor is a Professor of Medical Anthropology and Global Health at the Institute of Development Studies at the University of Sussex. She originally trained as a medical doctor in South Africa, before completing a PhD in social anthropology  at the University of Cambridge in 2003. She has a long track record of work on infectious disease. As the social science lead for the BBSRC-funded Myanmar Pig Partnership  she was involved in interdisciplinary research on zoonoses in emerging livestock systems. This research included a significant focus on AMR and the lived experiences of pig farmers living in conditions of precarity. This links to wider work on pandemic preparedness and response, including a current British Academy grant in South Africa. Her research to date has been situated in Africa and SE Asia. Parallel to these anthropological concerns, she retains an interest in clinical psychiatric practice.
