I obtained my PhD in Microbiology at the University of the Free State, Bloemfontein, South Africa in 2017. Thereafter I was a post doctoral fellow at the same institution before joining Clinomics in July 2019.

I have worked in the field of veterinary biotechnology during my post graduate studies during which I've developed molecular techniques, performed some protein expression in E. coli and Y. lipolytica and learnt some basic bioinformatic methods.
