My research is focused on viral pathogens in developing countries, in particular Sierra Leone, West Africa. Current projects include supporting the Ebola Sequencing efforts in Makeni, Sierra Leone, and screening of patient samples for established viral pathogens, such as Lassa Fever, Dengue, viral hepatitis, and emerging pathogens such as Zika and Chikungunya virus. As well as screening for pathogens, we are also monitoring drug resistance and pathogen genotypes, using NGS technology.
