Employment History
2015-2016
Post-doctoral researcher (Research associate).Division of Infection and Pathway Medicine School of Biomedical Sciences, College of Medicine and Veterinary Medicine, The University of Edinburgh. EH16 4SB. From 02\/02\/2015 to 30\/03\/2016. Plan, execute, oversee and report field activities in 17 HAT affected districts and 83 randomly selected villages within those districts in Uganda that were chosen to provide baseline data, as part of the Monitoring and Evaluation arm for the Development Impact BOND stamp out sleeping sickness project. secured government authorisation to carry out the work in the country (and specifically in the target districts and villages); encouraged community participation for maximal engagement; I setup and managed field team (s); maintained information\/data flow and reporting channel between UoE and Ugandan data collection; and maintained village-level qualitative data to support the project activities in the selected villages. The data was crucial in informing the Impact BOND work. During my work in the field, I purchased drugs and treatment aid for emergency veterinary treatment for animals that needed them during field activities. Supervised a MSc student from UoE who was on a field experience for the first time outside of Europe and in Africa, and in (remote) Uganda in particular. For Development Impact BOND Project, major contributions were towards developing sampling frame for cattle trypanosomiasis in districts reporting with human trypanosomiasis in Uganda, and, generating ethical clearance for carrying out the project work in Uganda and exporting biological materials to the UK. In the field, I led a field team in executing project activities in 12 districts in Uganda (8 of which were new to SOS interventions); the findings from which have led to extension of the original BOND work.
2014-2015
Research Associate, for Stamp Out of Sleeping sickness project, Welburn Research Group, Division of Pathway and Infection Medicine University of Edinburgh. For SOS project, my responsibility was to detect trypanosome DNA in dried blood on FTA cards previously collected from cattle in Eastern Uganda, by amplifying the internal transcribed spacer regions of trypanosomes. ITS regions are relatively small, show variability among related species and are flanked by highly conserved segments to which PCR primers can be designed, making it a useful marker for differentiating species of trypanosomes of great economic importance in eastern Uganda.
