Emma Peter Njau (Her\/She) is an early career scientist from the Department of Microbiology, Parasitology and Biotechnology<\/a> located in the College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences<\/a> of the Sokoine University of Agriculture<\/a> (SUA) in Tanzania. Employed as a lecturer, her main duties are teaching, research and outreach. In her teaching role, Emma teaches both undergraduate and post-graduate students on various subjects related to molecular biology and laboratory principles. She also supervises undergraduate and postgraduate students on various projects. As a researcher, she has interest on etiological agents, especially viruses that are known to cause outbreaks, notifiable diseases, massive deaths or economic including social economical losses to livestock keepers. Emma holds a first degree in Biotechnology and laboratory sciences from SUA, a Master\u2019s degree in One Health Molecular biology from SUA and a Doctorate degree in Life sciences from the Nelson Mandela African Institution of Science and Technology from Arusha. In her Doctoral degree, Emma researched on African Swine Fever where she presented the first full genome sequence of the virus from the disease\u2019s hotspot area. In outreach activities, she has been working with livestock farmers, especially the small holder farmers on the use of biosecurity measures as a resource to control outbreak and reduce disease spread using simple, practical, affordable and locally adapted techniques.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
