Personal profile
Research expertise
For my PhD I will be working on the prevalence and prevention of bacterial contamination of blood products for transfusion in sub-Saharan Africa.
Teaching expertise
The AIM course (Antibiotic Stewardship, Infection Prevention & Control, Microbiological Surveillance) targets health care workers coming from low- and middle income countries. I am mainly responsible for some of the microbiological surveillance goup classes and laboratory related sessions.
