I decode genomes to improve lives.

Genomicist and Data Scientist. PhD in Molecular Biology.

"The future of precision medicine depends on understanding every population's genome — not just a few."

Bridging genomics and health equity.

African genomes are the most genetically diverse on the planet — yet they remain massively underrepresented in the data that drives drug development and treatment decisions.

My work combines population genomics, multi-omics integration, and data science to start closing that gap. I build computational frameworks that turn population-scale genetic data into insights that could inform targeted therapies and better health outcomes.

Research Focus

Sharing science that matters.

I've presented at the Global Young Scientist Summit in Singapore, earned the Alex von Holy Prize twice for best PhD student in Microbiology, and my students at Eduvos voted me the most perspicuous and most relatable lecturer — which I consider the highest possible compliment.
