I am Laboratory Scientist in the Department of Pathology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Botswana. My current project seeks to understand the dual infection carriage of HIV and high-risk HPV on the cervix and resulting effect on human tumor suppressor genes, whose collaboration promotes cervical cancer development in women in HIV prevalent settings. Previous research include community engagement project; cervical cancer screening in the indigenous communities (marginalised) whose aim was to understand the burden of cervical cancer and pre-cancer lesions, associated risk factors and identify barriers to screening uptake. Future plans include collaboration with the ministry of health in expanding this work to developing linguistically tailored health education programs for women in marginalised and indigenous communities, to help reduce risk factors associated with cancer development and promote health seeking behaviour.
