The Lamberton Lab

Millicent Opoku

Research Assistant (2019)

Millicent joined the Lamberton Lab on an exchange program in parasitology for capacity strengthening for early career researchers at the Wellcome Centre Integrative Parasitology, University of Glasgow (funded by the Global Challenges Research Fund). She has been trialling genetic techniques to identify adult worm genotypes from microfilariae (mf), generating whole genome sequence data from adult and pooled mf used to identify single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) which can differentiate Onchocerca mf and their parents. Millicent is currently a PhD student at La Trobe University in Melbourne, Australia.
