“Throughout my fellowship, I plan to build the evidence base to support the routine use of clinical metagenomics in microbiology clinics in South Africa. I’m excited to have the opportunity to work with world-leading academics in both the UK and South Africa and to have the support of industry to bring this work into the clinic.

I’m hoping to build a strong collaborative network in South Africa and the UK in this space. I want to develop the skills needed to advance – not just replicate – this field at home.”
