Mr Abdoulie Drammeh

Higher Scientific Officer

United Kingdom

Jump to: Affiliations Teaching Research Publications

I am an immunologist and laboratory scientist with over 15 years of experience in vaccine and infectious disease research across Africa and the United Kingdom. My work focuses on immunological assay development, multiplex serology, and the application of GCLP- and ISO-accredited laboratory systems to large-scale clinical studies. I have contributed to major multi-country research on Ebola, malaria, and SARS-CoV-2.

 

At LSHTM, I work in Professor Chris Drakeley's lab under the department of Infection Biology (DIB) and support the development and validation of multiplex serological assays for epidemiological and vaccine research on malaria, arboviruses, and neglected tropical diseases. I contribute to assay design, immunological data analysis, and the dissemination of findings through scientific publications and reports, while also supervising MSc student laboratory trainings.

 

Additionally, I have extensive experience managing laboratory operations in international settings, including The Gambia and Sierra Leone. I have led clinical trial laboratory activities, overseen quality management systems, and ensured compliance with GCLP and ISO 15189 standards. My technical expertise includes multiplex serology (Luminex/MagPix), flow cytometry, ELISPOT, ELISA, and cellular immunology assays.

Faculty of Infectious and Tropical Diseases

Teaching

I teach MSc students undertaking the 'Immunology of Infectious Diseases course' on laboratory methods and practicals.

Research

My research interests centre on infectious disease sero-surveillance and the development of integrated serological platforms to assess population-level exposure and immunity. I am particularly interested in scalable approaches for low- and middle-income countries and in strengthening laboratory capacity to support global health research.
