Helga D.M. Saizonou

Helga D.M. Saizonou is a PhD student in medical entomology at the Tropical Infectious Diseases Research Center (TIDRC) of the University of Abomey-Calavi (UAC), Benin. Her research focuses on the genomic surveillance of vectors. She is keen to generate new scientific data that could be further used as part of a vector surveillance program in endemic countries.

Being a MESA correspondent at the 9th PAMCA conference will help me learn about recent work aiming to lessen the burden of malaria in endemic countries and also hone my skills.
