I completed my undergraduate medical training at the University of Ilorin, Kwara, Nigeria and received a Fellowship of the West Africa College of Phyiscians in Paediatrics on completion of the residency programme at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital, Idi-Araba, Lagos, Nigeria. In addition, I hold a MSc in Epidemiology from The School and and got a PhD in Epidemiology from the University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

I joined the School in June 2014 and work overseas as a Clinical Epidemiologist at the KEMRI-Wellcome Trust Research Programme,Kilifi, Kenya. The overarching aim of my research is to provide evidence for vaccine policy in low and middle income countries especially those in Africa. I am currently working on vaccine effectiveness studies for pneumococcal and rotavirus vaccines. I am exploring the scientific basis for managing pneumococcal vaccine programmes with only pneumococcal carriage data; and investigating vaccine seroepidemiology in Africa including the scientific basis for coverage and population immunity. My other interests include a lifecourse approach to immunisation in Africa and  innovative approaches/surveillance tools for vaccination including measures of coverage, timeliness, and equity. I currently serve on the Kenyan National Immunisation Coordination Committee and the WHO AFRO Regional Immunisation Technical Advisory Group (RITAG).

Prior to joining the School, I worked as a Clinical Epidemiologist at the Medical Research Council Unit, The Gambia at the LSHTM. My research interests and work then were in Tuberculosis Epidemiology.
