Shahiid Kiyaga

I am a Bioinformatics Scientist and mentor at ACE-Uganda, a lecturer in Bioinformatics at Makerere University, and a Research Fellow at the Infectious Diseases Research Collaboration (IDRC). Currently, I am a MakDarta PhD fellow specializing in Bioinformatics and Data Science. My research interests lie in utilizing genomics, genetics, and bioinformatics to deepen our understanding of infectious diseases, with a focus on host-pathogen interactions, pathogen molecular surveillance, antimicrobial resistance, malaria parasite genomics, bacterial genomics, population genetics, and viral genomics. I am dedicated to capacity building in genomics and bioinformatics, aiming to nurture and empower the next generation of bioinformatics scientists.
