I am a Medical doctor (MD) with 8 years’ experience spanning tropical medicine, vaccine pharmacovigilance and paediatric vaccine trials.

I successfully led the conduct of a phase 3 trial of a new pneumococcal conjugate vaccine, Pneumosil in the Gambia. My postgraduate degrees are in Vaccinology and Pharmaceutical clinical development (Siena) and Global health and infectious diseases (Edinburgh).
