Jump to: Affiliations Teaching Research Publications

I am a Research Fellow in Professor Kathryn Holt's group at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, UK. My current research involves undertaking high-quality computational genomics-based research to elucidate the genetic determinants of AMR and virulence in Klebsiella pneumonia and contributing to research aimed at improving phenotype prediction from genotypic data to enhance genomic surveillance AMR and virulence in K. pneumoniae. I have a PhD in microbial genomics (Quadram Institute Bioscience and Norwich Medical School, University of East Anglia, Norwich, UK). 

My publications are available here: https://bit.ly/3p2slam. Find me on Twitter @EFosterNyarko and LinkedIn, https://bit.ly/3wRyYPM.
