Ms Mary Maranga

Research Fellow in AMR Bioinformatics

United Kingdom

I am a Research Fellow in Professor Kathryn Holt's group at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. My current research is focused on developing bioinformatics code to support genomic surveillance of antimicrobial resistance in the AMRnet project.

I have an MSc in Bioinformatics and Molecular Biology (JKUAT University, Kenya) and a PhD in Biomedical Sciences (Jagiellonian University, Poland).
