Research Projects
2013 - date: UoK URF Malaria Rapid diagnostic tests compared to microscopy for detection of pregnancy malaria
2005 - 2009: Fogarty International Centre support – Severe malaria pathogenesis, PhD studenship

I have a desire to become a critical and independent scientist, capable of designing and executing high quality research studies in areas of malaria and other infectious diseases and mentoring upcoming young scientists. My long-term professional objective is to become one of the leading researchers in Africa and an excellent teacher and mentor.
