Join us for a PhD Proposal Presentation on Plasma Lipidomic Signatures Associated with CAC-Defined Tuberculosis Infectiousness and IGRA-Defined Sensitization in a Nairobi Transmission Cohort by Dr. Joash Odhalo Gombe.
Dr. Gombe is a medical doctor and clinical researcher at the Kenya Medical Research Institute (KEMRI), Centre for Respiratory Disease Research, Nairobi, where he serves as a Sub-Investigator in clinical studies. He also contributes to research ethics and regulatory review through the KEMRI Scientific and Ethics Review Unit. He holds a Master of Science in International Public Health and a Master’s degree in Project Planning and Management, and is currently pursuing doctoral research at the University of Nairobi. His academic and research interests focus on tuberculosis transmission, host lipidomics, biomarker discovery, and translational infectious disease epidemiology. His current doctoral work investigates plasma lipidomic signatures associated with cough aerosol culture-defined tuberculosis infectiousness and early Mycobacterium tuberculosis sensitization in an urban Nairobi transmission cohort.
