Judy Orikiiriza Tatwangire (September - December 2009)
Judy currently works at Kanombe Military Hospital in Rwanda, where she holds the position of Head of Department of Pediatrics and Child Health. Judy’s experience ranges from clinical research to academia; her initial interest in infectious diseases and immunology led to her pursuing her Master of Medicine (Pediatrics) degree at Makerere University Medical School in Kampala, Uganda.
Judy hopes to build a career in Infectious Diseases and Immunology where she will focus on the aspect of the disease burden on children in the tropics. Judy’s training in Ireland aims to help her learn various research techniques related to genetic and molecular immunological laboratory assays and their procedures. She hopes to use this knowledge to teach graduate and exchange students in medicine and to eventually contribute to a growing body of research both at the local and international level.
The CDPC hosts Judy between September and December 2009.
