| AdminHistory | 'In the late 1980s, Jenny recognised that infectious disease was an area ripe for economic scrutiny, and she began a fruitful collaboration with the Public Health Laboratory Service at Colindale, north London. This continued for many years, her research programme growing rapidly to cover the economic impact of intestinal infections, hepatitis, hospital-acquired infection and flu. Through her extensive research into the costs of these infections, Jenny demonstrated that they constituted a significant economic burden not only for providers of healthcare, but also for the people affected and their families.'
