Biography
Dr. Lucy Obonyo is a researcher/scientist/microbiologist/tutorial fellow with over 10 years of experience working in different organizations including Medecins Sans Frontieres. Currently working with Family health options/Kibabii University as a Microbiologist and tutorial fellow respectively. To Dr. Lucy small contributions in Science bring a huge difference in life, this perception has contributed to some of my accomplishments which include; worked on special projects in a poor resource settings (sexual gender based violence) and was able to support in identification of degenerated spermatozoa thus helping survivors access justice, working in a drug resistant tuberculosis project was able to publish an article proving that molecular techniques used in diagnosis in re-treatment TB cases would lead to false TB diagnosis and thus unnecessary treatment. Among my publications are those focusing on tuberculosis drug resistance in key populations. In my free time I like reading novels and conducting mentorship.

My primary research interest is in antimicrobial resistance in tuberculosis and cutting across other bacteria. I also have interest in cancer and how it can be prevented to avert the high mortality rate through availability of vaccines for the various types of cancer.
