Biography
As a driven and ambitious biotechnologist with a passion for vaccine development, I bring over two years of experience working in diagnosis and vaccine development laboratories. Notably, my tenure at the Central Veterinary Laboratory in Zimbabwe saw me play a crucial role in manufacturing Newcastle disease vaccines and developing innovative bovine wart vaccines. Currently, I am enhancing my expertise through a one-year apprenticeship in vaccine manufacturing at Hilleman Laboratories in Singapore. This hands-on training is equipping me with cutting-edge knowledge in human vaccine biomanufacturing within a GMP-compliant environment. With a steadfast commitment to contributing meaningfully to the global fight against infectious diseases, I aspire to become a leading vaccinologist, driving innovation and positive change in the field. Research interests
