gained my BSc (Biochemistry) from the University of the Free State in 2014 (South Africa). I then obtained my BSc (Hons) in Physiology (Human and Medical) at the same Institution in 2015. Following this, I studied for my Master's degree (Physiology) at the University of KwaZulu-Natal in 2016. I then continued with my Ph.D. degree (Gene Polymorphisms of Urate transporters and the Renin-Angiotensin-System in Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy). Current Role After obtaining my Ph.D., I was appointed as a research assistant at the University of KwaZulu-Natal in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology. My current research interests involve interventions to reduce the risk of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, HIV, and COVID-19 infection and improve maternal and fetal outcomes. Furthermore, my interests include infectious diseases, their epidemiology, pathology, genetic and environmental factors, pathology, pathophysiology, and therapy. I also review articles for various journals on maternal Health.
