Career Trajectory
Bio
After completing my undergraduate studies, I worked as a research assistant at Model Professional Consultants on public health and socio-economic research projects. This experience got me interested in pursuing a career in research. After a year, I enrolled for a Master of Science in clinical epidemiology and biostatistics, where I developed an interest in the epidemiology of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and co-infections. At that time, Uganda was implementing antiretroviral therapy (ART) scale-up and there were many questions about the long-term impact of treatment on the course of the HIV epidemic in sub-Saharan Africa. This later shaped my research career vision, which is to provide answers to questions that will help end the HIV epidemic.
Before I defended my Masters dissertation, in 2009, I got a job at the Infectious Disease Institute (IDI) in Uganda as a biostatistician, where I worked for the next 5 years. I was responsible for all statistical analyses on the HIV clinic database of over 30,000 people who had ever received care or treatment in the IDI clinic. At IDI, I offered statistical training to staff and medical school students through journal clubs or workshops. I became a reviewer for PLOS ONE and BMC Public Health journals and for the International Society of Pharmacoeconomics and Outcomes Research (ISPOR) conference in 2014. I was outsourced from IDI as a statistical consultant on three projects: establishment of a Research Support Unit at the Netherlands African Partnership for Capacity Development and Clinical Intervention against Poverty-related diseases under Makerere University – Johns Hopkins University; the International Extramural Associates Research Development Award -RFA-HD-06-018; and the Academic-Community Partnership grant on Community-Based Participatory Research study under Makerere University – Johns Hopkins University. Further, I mentored fellows from the Afya Bora consortium Fellowship in Global Health Leadership in data analysis and manuscript writing. I also worked as a part time lecturer of Biostatistics, Epidemiology, and Research Methods at the Ernest Cook Ultra Sound Research and Education Institute at Mengo Hospital. I offered statistical support to the clinical trials unit as a statistician and as a clinical trials monitor on the Data Safety Monitoring Board. I was part of the team, from IDI, that helped set up the Health Economics and Outcomes Research Group. Until 2014, I was a member of the ISPOR (No. 22115) and Group Uganda of International Biometric Society (No. 1175521).
In September 2013, I received an International Disease Dynamics and Data (I3D) Research Exchange Scholarship worth USD6000. This involved a 6-week program in the Meyers lab at the University of Texas – Austin under the supervision of Dr. Steve E. Bellan who is now on the faculty of the Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics at University of Georgia. This scholarship culminated in a manuscript that we published and was as part of my PhD thesis chapters. In June 2014, I was awarded a doctoral bursary from the South African DST-NRF Centre of Excellence in Epidemiological Modelling and Analysis to pursue a PhD in epidemiology at Stellenbosch University. My PhD thesis was about the effects of longitudinal HIV viral load exposure on immune outcomes, mortality, and opportunistic infections in people on ART in sub-Saharan Africa. After 3 years, I completed my PhD degree. Further, while at SACEMA I attended short courses on many topics in epidemiology, biostatistics, and mathematical modelling. I have a good publication track record with 22 manuscripts in the last 5 years, eight of which, according to Google Scholar, have been cited at least 10 times.
