Research Interests and teaching: An evolutionary biologist interested in infectious arboviruses & their vectors. I teach population/ forensic genetics.
coming soon
2022 –2025 “The consequences of biodiversity loss and land use change on infectious disease emergence” is a collaboration between Makerere University (CoNAS & CoVAB), University of Bonn (Germany), Charite University of Medicine’s Institute of Virology (Germany), and Uganda Virus Research Institute, Entebbe. The Project is funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG), grant registration number: BI 2357/1-1.
2021–2022 “A survey of mosquito species diversity and abundance in Uganda’s Lake Victoria Basin: an assessment of the transmission risk of mosquito-borne arboviruses” is a collaboration between Department of Plant Sciences, Microbiology and Biotechnology (CoNAS, Makerere University), and the Department of Arbovirology, Emerging and Re-emerging diseases (Uganda Virus Research Institute, Entebbe). Project is supported by Makerere University Research & Innovations Fund.
