About

I am Research Assistant under Human Health Department( Emergence and Infectious Diseases-EID) at ICIPE; I have a vast knowledge of Biomedical Research; this includes molecular biology techniques (PCR, DNA&RNA extraction, molecular identification of mosquitoes), Cell Culture (ELISA, viral culturing). Analysis of qPCR data., relative and absolute quantification. Morphological identification of mosquitoes, dissections of mosquito gonads. Microscopy; preparation of slides for real-time imaging of microsporidia in the mosquito reproductive organs. Sample preparation for processing, data entry... Insect rearing; feeding and collecting of pupae. Fiel work, including mosquito collection. The tubing of field female gravid mosquitos for egg collection. Isolation of microsporidia spores using parcol from dead and live F1 offsprings obtained from positive Iso-female lines Microscopy, hemolymph extraction, mosquito dissection, for (microbe tissue tropism, pulling the midgut and reproductive organs, etc), slide preparation, staining, FISH and slide visualization. Micro-injection; the use of Nanoject ii for injection of Insect Specific viruses and microsporidia spores into the adult mosquitoes.
