PhD Overview

My research focuses on developing a nanobiosensor for the rapid detection of antimicrobial resistance in tuberculosis. TB is a significant public health concern, particularly in low-resource settings like Guinea-Bissau, where access to timely and precise diagnostic tools is limited. The biosensor I am working on has the potential to revolutionize TB diagnostics by offering a faster, cost-effective, and accessible solution.

Sustainability Goals

  • Good Health and Well-being
  • Reduced Inequalities

About Me

I am a medical doctor and post-doctoral research scholar at Michigan State University, as a Post-Doc Research Scholar in nanotechnology biosensors for rapid tuberculosis and antimicrobial resistance detection. With leadership experience as a clinic director in Guinea-Bissau, a Mandela Washington Fellowship alumna, and an advocate for women in STEM, I am committed to innovative healthcare solutions.
