Background
PhD student under the supervision of Professor Tulio de Oliveira and Professor Douglass Wassenaar. My PhD focuses on the social, ethical and legal issues associated with using pathogen data to link infections, in particular, using phylogenetic analysis results as evidence to prove HIV transmission. My previous work has focused on the quality of the informed consent process and the review and oversight of social and behavioural research in a Zimbabwean context.
Fellowship:
Wellcome Trust Ethics Bursary Fellow at the Global Health Bioethics Network (GHBN) with project title: "Ethical issues in the use of molecular epidemiological techniques - a literature review and expert opinion analysis. Link to Farirai fellowship at GHBN website.
