Billy isolated microfilaria of Onchocerca volvulus for genome sequencing. This is part of a study to infer the parenthood of microfilaria from infected individuals before and after ivermectin treatment to determine whether the drug is able to kill adult worms and whether post treatment microfilaria result from new infections. Her also dabbled in transcriptomics/genomics from blood taken from S. mansoni infected individuals with an aim to understand infection profiles.
