About
My name is Prophet Ingosi Mulega born and raised in the coastal parts of Kenya but natively from the western parts of the country. I am currently a PhD student registered in Pwani University, Kenya under IDeAL_KEMRI / Wellcome trust studentship. I hold a Diploma in Medical Laboratory Science, Bachelor of Science in Medical laboratory science and a Master of Science in Microbiology. I am registered and licensed to practice in Kenya and East Africa by the Kenya Medical Laboratory Technicians and Technologists Board (A04134). I developed interest in tropical infectious diseases while working in a public sub county hospital in Mombasa, Kenya. Here I was charged with the responsibility of laboratory investigations for Tuberculosis (TB) patients with HIV / AIDS. Many years back I believed in precision in laboratory diagnostics to safeguard public health. Today I am now actively involved in a prospective cohort research study that shall justify laboratory bacteriological confirmation to avoid misdiagnosis of TB as a PhD student.
