Field of Study
For my graduate studies, I characterized sexual
stage antigens expressed by a poultry parasite
Eimeria maxima as a basis to
develop a transmission blocking vaccine. After
completing my studies, I wanted to use my
training in molecular parasitology to study
human parasites, specifically malaria that
afflicts millions of people, particularly in
sub-Sahara-Africa.
