• Brief description of your expertise / expertise you are looking for:

  I hold a PhD in Life and Environmental Sciences with emphasis in Biomolecular Sciences. I have experience in isolating and characterizing bacteria, antimicrobial susceptibility testing, biochemical analysis, genotyping, bacterial conjugation and plasmid analysis. I have worked on prevalence studies of antibiotic resistance in the human gut and studied resistance traits of enterococci. I have also worked on prevalence studies on Helicobacter pylori and Mycobacterium. In addition, I have worked on transformation experiments. My work has spanned the human, crop and animal sectors. I lead the AMR theme at my institute. I am at the moment working on a multi-national project on mitigation of AMR and AMUSE in Uganda. My colleagues at the institute have skills in epidemiology, livestock nutrition, livestock production, veterinary medicine and biostatistics, among others.

• Brief description of your project / the project you would like to join:

  I would like to work on a project that delves into the risks to animals, humans and the environment associated with AMUSE/MISUSE in livestock production in the development of AMR; the transmission dynamics; and AMR genes across different locations to be able to make comparisons and design interventions that can be implemented and compared across multiple locations. I am looking at interventions that can be applied at the interface of the animal, environment and human interface using a holistic approach.
