My career progress and development from 2019 to date has been supported by sponsors such as The Human Heredity and Health in Africa (H3Africa) which funded my Master's in Infectious Diseases training at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) between 2019 - 2022. My ongoing PhD research, proposed for between 2023 and 2027 is funded by the Wellcome Trust, through its DELTAS Africa programme (Developing Excellence in Leadership, Training and Science) the Sub-Saharan Africa Consortium (DELTAS Africa).
