About me
As an R&D Project Manager at Medicines for Malaria Venture (MMV), I lead collaborative international research efforts to advance innovative solutions against malaria, ensuring projects are efficiently executed and aligned with MMV’s mission to protect vulnerable populations. Previously, I coordinated multisite clinical trials focusing on post-discharge malaria chemoprevention in under-five children. My earlier work also involved research on malaria chemoprevention for pregnant women and infants, strengthening my expertise in infectious disease research in resource-limited settings. With a medical degree (MBBS) and a Master’s in Vaccinology and Drug Development, I am passionate about reducing health disparities in Africa through collaborative, impactful research that improves outcomes for at-risk populations.
