I am an infectious disease epidemiology fellow with the Kamuzu University of Health Sciences (KUHeS). I have 4 years’ research experience and have been involved in the design, regulatory organisation, and clinical oversight of cluster randomised and randomised control trials for tuberculosis in Malawi, as well as the design and conduct of systematic reviews. I am currently pursuing a PhD with the University of Liverpool with the broad focus of microbiological interventions to improve maternal health in rural Malawi.
