Tell us about yourself and your research interests?
I did my undergraduate studies in Biomedical Sciences at Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology, I also pursued a Masters’ in Immunology. My research project focused on the effects Schistoma mansoni infection has on the immunogenicity of the Human papilomavirus using a baboon model, this was done at the Institute of Primate research in Nairobi, Kenya.

Currently I am a graduate assistant at the Department of Zoology at Jomo Kenyatta University, assisting with the undergraduate immunology and biostatistics courses.

I am very interested in learning about potential immunomodulators that may improve global health issues. My overall hope is to be involved in projects that tackle the world’s health issues as well as continue studying immunology to PhD level.
