Research Activities

I am currently interested in Microbial Genomics; using Metagenomics sequencing. Trying to develop methods that could identify pathogenic bacteria and AMR genes leading to the causes of Neonatal sepsis in a hospital-based setting in The Gambia. Currently working on developing an assay using CRISPR base technique to identify low abundant sequences of interest (AMR genes to gram-negative ESBL producers).
