The contribution of pathogen genetic variation to the risk of developing lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) remains incompletely understood. We used genome wide association study (GWAS) cohort to examine the contribution of genetic variations to the risk of LRTI amongst African children enrolled in an intensively sampled birth cohort.

He obtained his PhD from the University of Cape Town (Medical Microbiology), in 2016. His research focusses on the genomics and metagenomics for antimicrobial resistance surveillance and pathogen detection.
