Biography: I completed my undergraduate degree in Molecular Biology and Biotechnology in 2020 and went on to do my honours degree in the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences as a Molecular biologist in 2021 where I joined Dr Vuyo Mavumengwana and his team of researchers. Our research centres around drug development and the finding and testing of new antimycobacterials against the pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis. As of this year, I am currently completing my MSc degree with the same research team, however I am now on a different campus under co-supervision of Dr Prinessa Chellan, learning the Bioorganometallic Chemistry side to developing ferrocene hybrids as antimycobacterials.
