Bio
Prisca Benedicto-Matambo
PhD student -University of Liverpool based at MLW, Blantyre, Malawi. Lecturer, Kamuzu University of Health Sciences (KUHeS)
Prisca Benedicto-Matambo is a medical scientist trained at the Kamuzu University of Health Sciences formerly College of Medicine (BSc Hons, Medical laboratory Science) and the University of Leeds, UK (MSc, Infection, Immunity and Human Diseases). Soon after qualifying as a medical laboratory scientist, she joined Queen Elizabeth Central hospital and led the Microbiology department. She is currently Pursuing doctoral studies in Immunology at the University of Liverpool, UK.
Research
Prisca’s current research interests focuses on exploring possible off-target effects of rotavirus vaccine, RV3-BB and how this information can be extrapolated further to optimise the effectiveness of rotavirus vaccines in high mortality-low-income settings such as Malawi. She has also been involved in SARS-CoV-2 related studies, the recent study being assessment of immunological profiles of patients with evidence of SARS-Cov-2 infection in sub-Saharan Africa. Her future research interests include assessing the immunological profiles of shigella associated diarrhoea. This will ultimately contribute to informing shigella vaccine studies in Malawi. Prisca is also fascinated with strides in epigenetic studies and how this science can be leveraged to predict outcomes of non-communicable diseases of relevance to Malawi.
