Joan Kahwa

I am a dedicated Bioengineering student specializing in Biochemistry, passionate about research, innovation, and applying laboratory techniques to real-world health challenges. I have hands-on experience in quality control, laboratory analysis, and data-driven problem solving from academic placements and an industrial internship.

I have pursued supplementary training in software development, data science (Python), programming essentials, and IT fundamentals to strengthen my analytical and computational capabilities for modern bioscience research. I have participated in conferences and mentorship programs—gaining practical genomics, bioinformatics, and scientific communication experience.

I volunteer with initiatives focused on climate change, environmental protection, and ecosystem restoration, and I seek opportunities to contribute to impactful research projects while collaborating with multidisciplinary teams to advance scientific understanding and public health outcomes.
