I am a dedicated scientist with a strong commitment to addressing tropical diseases through innovative, evidence-based interventions. My background spans parasitology, entomology, and molecular genetics, with recent years focused on applying scientific research to solve public health challenges in endemic regions. After spending many years in academia studying diseases at the molecular level, I am now integrating that knowledge into large-scale public health initiatives aimed at disease prevention and elimination. As Head of research at NALA foundation, I lead efforts to develop, scale, and scientifically validate interventions aimed at preventing and eliminating neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) through integrated WASH (Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene) and social behavior change (SBC) programs. My work is driven by the belief that sustainable solutions to tropical diseases require interdisciplinary collaboration and community engagement. I am committed to expanding the reach and impact of NALA’s interventions by ensuring they are rigorously evaluated, scalable, and published to contribute to the broader scientific community’s understanding of tropical disease prevention.
