About: I am a researcher with a background in pharmacy and pharmacology, currently pursuing a PhD in infectious and tropical diseases. My research focuses on the quality of medicines in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) and the effects of substandard and falsified medicines on public health. I use mixed methods to study these issues, drawing on my experience as a pharmacist and my advanced training in pharmacology and biotechnology. I am also passionate about improving access to quality medicines, addressing antimicrobial resistance, and working on regulatory affairs and clinical trials. I strive to use my skills and knowledge to address these important public health challenges and inform policy and practice to improve the availability and quality of essential medicines for all people.
