Summary

I am deeply interested in the use of digital technology for improved procedure rates in medicine. Rare diseases have been another absorbing field and I advocate for pertinent reporting to increase awareness about such conditions. In addition to data curation for our Life Sciences products at Clarivate (The Incidence and Prevalence Database, Disease Briefings, Disease Forecasts), earlier research at the Institute of Tropical Medicine (Antwerp, Belgium), has seen me engaged in infectious diseases, vaccine development and molecular epidemiology. After my Ph.D. in molecular biology (Belgium), parasite and viral research took me to several African countries (Senegal, Ethiopia, Cameroon, Rwanda). As a visiting Professor (Antwerp University), I have taught Parasitology to medical students at the National University of Rwanda (Butare, Rwanda) and at Jimma University (Ethiopia).
