Comment: Overall this sounds like a CV. My first thought was that this was chatbot-generated, but then again, would a chatbot actually copy-paste an entire paragraph like"In December 2020, David was awarded an NIHR Research Professorship to continue his research on maternal infections in Africa. He was resident in Malawi, acting deputy director of the Malawi-Liverpool-Wellcome Trust research institute and working clinically at Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital, Blantyre, Malawi. He led the Maternal Health Research Group and Maternal, Neonatal and Child Health Theme at the Institute.In 2024, David returned to the UK, working at the University of Liverpool and taking up the role as site lead for Women’s Health."more or less verbatim from subject's page at University of Liverpool?The tone, the repeated "David this" and "David that" may be fine for a personal page elsewhere, but it is not for an encyclopedia, and the question is if David passes the so-called "professor test".
