To get experience and develop skills in clinical research
Results & Outcomes
I received huge support from my supervisors, senior members and other colleagues at the host and home organization. Through this support, I was able to accomplish most of the activities. I have gained essential skills in the drug development such as; study designs, evaluation of the pre-clinical information safety, knowledge on the human subjects safety and ethic issues, leadership and management, pharmacovigilance etc. I have expanded my networks in the area of malaria and clinical research in general. I have managed to support fellow scientists in the systematic review and thesis development. The position of the clinical safety monitor will allow me to utilise the experience and knowledge I have gained in the drug development and the IRB. I will use these skills and knowledge to enhance my career in research for the benefit of the institute, to share with other scientists and capacity building.
