Educational/professional background

Over the past years, I’ve had the privilege of participating in the HIV Vaccine Trials conducted by the Uganda Virus Research Institute in partnership with the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative. I have also worked as a Pharmaceutical Microbiologist. These career opportunities solidified my interest in building a successful career in Clinical Trials so I can contribute to improving the quality of clinical research in Uganda and globally.

Research interests or career goals

My research interests lie in HIV/AIDS related research, exploring new drug products for chronic conditions (communicable and noncommunicable), health equity advocacy especially for marginalized communities and integrating clinical research with clinical practice. As I advance in my MSc Clinical Trials, my interests may continue to evolve.

Why I chose LSHTM/my programme

Being able to study at LSHTM has always been a dream, from when I first realized I was passionate about a career in scientific research during my undergraduate study. LSHTM has a loud contribution to scientific research in Africa but also a global reputation as the highest ranked public health university. During my first month of study, not only have I marveled at the countless possibilities I have been exposed to, but also got to engage with the vibrant community.

Extra information

I am available for information regarding scholarships available at LSHTM- I am privileged to be a Commonwealth Distance Learning Scholar and I’m happy to share my experience regarding scholarship applications.

I can also advise on transitioning into a career in clinical trials as I am currently walking the same path. I am happy to help out.
