Expected impact of the research findings |
Prior to deployment of Malaria control measures, the contribution of inter-island human and transmitting mosquitoes’ migration in the spread of P. falciparum parasites is pertinent to:
(a) Take into consideration the possibilities of malaria resurgence post-intervention; (b) Ensure effective and sustained impact by massive scale-up especially in identified clusters or foci of high malaria transmission. |
Anticipated Career development beyond the fellowship |
This fellowship has given me an opportunity to establish a research career in Kenya following my Postgraduate studies. This position offers prospects of knowledge transfer and capacity strengthening to local institutions of research or higher learning. I also hope to continue not only with Malaria research but also in other health related fields using the local and already established collaborations toward the enhancement of Kenyans’ health and well-being. |
