At Modibbo Adama University Teaching Hospital, I synthesize clinical, ultrasonography, and CT data to support prognostic models and evidence-based paediatric surgical decisions.

I've contributed to the NIHR Global Health Research Unit on Global Surgery through the ALLIGATOR, ChEETAh, and CATERPILLAR studies, structuring international clinical datasets in REDCap for regression, survival, and postoperative-outcome analyses. My research has supported peer-reviewed publications in journals including The Lancet and BMJ Global Health.

As a peer reviewer for the African Journal of Paediatric Surgery, I assess statistical validity, diagnostic-accuracy methods, and reporting quality. I also develop clinical training modules and diagnostic vignettes, bringing experience in neonatal surgery, congenital anomalies, paediatric surgical oncology, and remote clinical consulting workflows.
