Background

I am an immunologist and a biostatistician/ data scientist / analyst who is passionate about infectious diseases research. I am particularly interested in viruses like SARS-CoV-2, Lassa, Ebola and their mechanisms of cellular damage in organ systems in the body like the brain. I hold a masters degree in Biostatistics and Data Science from Cornell University, and a second masters degree in Integrated Immunology from the University of Oxford.

For my undergraduate studies, I studied biological sciences, mathematics and economics at the University at Buffalo. I then worked at the Galveston National Laboratory at the University of Texas Medical Branch for over two years where I conducted research on the following viruses: Lassa virus, Junin virus, Zika virus, Influenza virus, as well as HIV.
