Research Focus

My research focus entails conducting cutting edge epidemiological and public health research aimed at understanding and responding equitably, sustainably and effectively to local epidemics. The research seeks to strengthen the country’s proactive response to current epidemics and readiness for future pandemics. My research interests are in HIV, COVID-19, health disparities and non-communicable diseases.
