Position: Associate Director_Paediatrics/PMTCT
Institution: ECEWS
Cohort: 2025 Cohort
Research Interests: My research interests focus on using implementation science to improve equitable access to and use of maternal, child and adolescent health services, with particular interest in health financing and financial risk protection. I am interested in how health insurance and other financing mechanisms can be effectively implemented, integrated into routine health systems and sustained to improve service uptake, continuity of care and health outcomes. Drawing on my experience in HIV, PMTCT and paediatric program implementation, I seek to understand how context, financing and health-system processes influence what works, for whom and under what conditions.

Position: Associate Professor/Senior Research Scientist IVAN Research Institute
Institution: University of Nigeria/ IVAN Reseacrh Institute
Cohort: 2024 Cohort
Research Interests: My research focuses on thrombosis and haemostasis, with focus on von Willebrand disease, inherited bleeding disorders, and diagnostic disparities in African populations. I investigate how genetic variation, functional laboratory phenotypes, and clinical bleeding manifestations interact to influence disease recognition, classification, and patient outcomes. My work integrates standardized clinical phenotyping, haemostasis testing, genomic analysis, and implementation science to generate evidence relevant to underrepresented populations. I am especially interested in developing context-appropriate diagnostic pathways for resource-limited settings, strengthening laboratory capacity, and improving the interpretation of population-specific genetic variants. I also examine patient, provider, and health-system barriers that contribute to delayed diagnosis and inadequate care. Through multidisciplinary and international collaboration, I aim to translate research findings into sustainable clinical practice, professional training, and health policy. My long-term goal is to establish an African evidence base that supports accurate diagnosis, equitable access to care, and personalized management for people living with bleeding disorders
