View profileBiography
I am a senior research scientist working with the Kenya Agricultural and Livestock Research Organisation (KALRO), and currently the Director of KALRO-Veterinary Research Institute. I am a seasoned epidemiologist with research interest in vaccines, drugs and diagnoostics development in addition to veterinary public health (zoonoses and food safety). My active research is on vaccine development (camels) and food safety (milk). The IVVN network can provide me the networking and support to further my research.
