Jeanne C. Sondi Dissake is
a PhD candidate in Parasitology and Ecology at the University of Yaoundé I,
Cameroon. Her research integrates molecular biology, field epidemiology, and
public health, reflecting a multidisciplinary approach to understanding and
controlling vector-borne diseases in sub-Saharan Africa. Her work focuses on
applying advanced genomic technologies, including next-generation sequencing,
to investigate the population genetics, evolution, and transmission dynamics of
disease vectors. By combining laboratory-based molecular analyses with
extensive field research, she seeks to generate evidence that informs more
effective and sustainable vector control strategies.
Beyond her research activities, Jeanne contributes across the
entire scientific process, from designing and implementing field studies to
analysing data, preparing scientific manuscripts, and disseminating research findings.
She is committed to translating complex scientific evidence into practical
recommendations that support public health interventions and strengthen disease
control programmes. Passionate about collaborative and impact-driven research,
Jeanne works closely with multidisciplinary teams, fostering partnerships that
bridge science, policy, and implementation. Her commitment to scientific
excellence, innovation, and community-centred research underpins her efforts to
advance knowledge on vector-borne diseases and contribute to improving health
outcomes in endemic regions across Africa.
