Biological scientist with 30 years of international experience, including 20 years of collaborating with national immunisation programmes and other immunisation stakeholders - particularly across Africa and the Middle East - through technical assistance and capacity-building initiatives. I have a strong background in vaccinology and public health, with expertise in scientific writing, training needs assessment, curriculum development (pre- and in-service), facilitation of training sessions, and academic lecturing. I also have experience in conducting KAP studies, evaluation of immunisation programmes, and project management. I have collaborated closely with National Immunisation Technical Advisory Groups (NITAGs) to support evidence-based policy-recommendations, especially for the introduction of new vaccines, with a focus on HPV vaccine introduction. Currently based at the Institute of Tropical Medicine in Antwerp, Belgium, I collaborate with diverse stakeholders and National Regulatory Authorities to strengthen clinical trial oversight and pharmacovigilance in low- and middle-income countries, while continuing to support new vaccine introduction, immunisation schedule optimisation and vaccine acceptance studies.
