What I'm looking for

I seek a research-focused lab role in a collaborative, ethics-driven organization where I can apply clinical trial and molecular skills, contribute to vaccine/drug studies, and grow in bioinformatics and lab leadership.

I am a dedicated Biomedical Laboratory Scientist with hands-on experience in clinical trial research, routine diagnostics, and animal research. I have contributed to studies on antimalarial drug efficacy and malaria vaccine safety and immunogenicity while maintaining strict biosafety and documentation standards.

At RINDA UBUZIMA LNGO I collected and processed over 4,000 study samples, developed SOPs and clinical trial laboratory documents, performed instrument calibration and quality controls, and managed sample storage and shipment for downstream molecular and immunogenicity analyses.

I complement my laboratory expertise with training in bioinformatics and immunoinformatics, clinical and laboratory best practices, and experience in medical interpretation and translation. I am passionate about advancing healthcare through research, innovation, and rigorous laboratory practice.
