Short Bio

I am a Pharmacist by profession. I currently work in the field of clinical trials as site pharmacist and study coordinator of various vaccine trials including, Marburg vaccine ,Ebola vaccine, M-Pox vaccine ,Malaria Vaccine, Covid 19 Vaccine and Two TB Vaccine trials: One for the adult population and one for the Pediatric Population.
I recently begun my Maters in One Health at the University of Edinburgh , learning to understand the interconnectedness of the human, animal and ecosystem and how one influences the transfer of disease among each other. The inspiration stemmed from my current work and I was quite curious to know and learn how we can be proactive in development of vaccines and not reactive, this is based on the research work that I undertake.
I am looking forward to share my knowledge and experience on this platform, as well as look for networking opportunities and also mentorship opportunities on this platform. Thank you.
