I joined the Environmental Health Group and Department of Disease Control at LSHTM as a Research Assistant in December 2022. I hold an MSc in Control of Infectious Diseases from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and a BSc in Biomedical and Molecular Diagnostics from Technological University Dublin. I carried out my MSc summer project at CREC-LSHTM in Cotonou, Benin with Associate Professor Corine Ngufor. This research involved optimising current methods for determining susceptibility to pyriproxyfen in wild malaria vectors.
