Dr. Ivana G.C. Youmbi Kammogne is an interdisciplinary researcher whose work spans animal science, public health, behavioural science, and One Health. She is the Deputy Group Leader of the Behavioural Science, Social Dynamics and Impact (BEST) Research Group at the TREND Foundation. Dr. Youmbi Kammogne holds a PhD in Animal Biology and a Master’s degree in Animal Physiology from the University of Yaoundé I, and she is currently pursuing a Master of Public Health (MPH) at the Faculty of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences and graduate studies in Psychology, both at the University of Yaoundé I, Cameroon. Her current academic trajectory reflects a growing commitment to understanding the behavioural and psychosocial determinants of health, with a particular interest in mental health promotion, psychological well-being, and the integration of mental health into public health and community-based interventions. Her research experience encompasses physiology, molecular biology, immunology, laboratory diagnostics, and implementation research, complemented by specialized training in molecular and immunological techniques for infectious diseases, including HIV, COVID-19, onchocerciasis, and other neglected tropical diseases. She is increasingly interested in applying behavioural science and implementation research to improve mental health awareness, reduce stigma, strengthen resilience, and promote equitable access to mental health services in resource-constrained settings. Beyond research, Dr. Youmbi is a passionate science communicator, youth mentor, and social entrepreneur. She has received national awards for scientific communication, led numerous public health awareness campaigns, and founded the Association for a Free Youth (AFY), which empowers young people through leadership, entrepreneurship, and personal development. At BEST Research Group, she champions interdisciplinary and community-engaged research that bridges biomedical science, behavioural science, and mental health to advance evidence-based policies and sustainable improvements in population health and well-being.
