Biography

I am deeply engaged in advancing knowledge in vaccinology, molecular biology, and biotechnology with a special focus on vaccine production and quality control. My research spans from the development and evaluation of vaccines to ensuring their efficacy and safety through rigorous quality control processes. I am particularly interested in the molecular evolution of viral vaccines, with a focus on livestock vaccines and their genetic stability. My academic journey has provided me with expertise in laboratory biosafety, biosecurity, and experimental design, where I have contributed to enhancing animal health by ensuring the Identity, Stability, Safety, Stability and Potency of commercial vaccines. My recent work involved sequence analysis of commercial Peste des Petits Ruminants vaccines produced in Africa, providing critical insights into vaccine effectiveness and stability over time. I aim to continue contributing to the scientific community by combining innovative research with practical solutions for vaccine production and control.
