PhD candidate in Genetics and Genome Sciences with a focus on Malaria Epidemiology at Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, OH. My thesis work focuses on the definition of the Asymptomatic population in the Brong-Ahafo region of Ghana. This population is silently contributing to the ongoing transmission of the parasite, and is missed by conventional elimination measures. It is essential to define the population, so that we can target, track, and treat them. I occasionally work with former mentors from Lebanon Valley College (Dr. Robert Valgenti and his collaborators) on Menus of Change Initiatives.
