His work critically examined the impact of international partnerships that enabled these clinical trials, particularly on local researchers and research institutions. His PhD thesis paid special attention to the complexities of conducting clinical trials during disease outbreaks in post-colonial contexts.
Marlyn's previous research has addressed issues of stigma, genomics, race, and inequities, as well as working on projects focused on the social determinants of health.
He is a trained social scientist with a particular interest in qualitative research. Overall, Marlyn’s research is at the interface of global health, scientific interventions, ethics, and political, social and economic systems.
