Project: The development of a plant-produced chimeric virus-like particle displaying human Papillomavirus 

Supervisors: Sandiswa Mbewana, Alta van Zyl

I completed my undergraduate studies at the University of KwaZulu-Natal, where I majored in Genetics and Microbiology. I then moved to the University of Cape Town to complete my Honours in Molecular and Cell Biology, where I now focus on viruses and vaccine development at the Biopharming Research Unit. I hope my efforts can contribute meaningfully to this field.
