Biography

My previous research was devoted to conservation of the genetic material of the local chicken ecotypes through genetic diversity and viral diseases resistance studies. My current research focuses on using a One Health approach to understanding the epidemiology of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in children and household animals in peri-urban settings, and the role of food in AMR transmission.
