NGOM NGOM Justice Tresor

Justice Tresor NGOM's research interests lie in molecular biology and the evolution of pathogens that cause disease burdens (TB, zoonotic pathogens, HIV and co-infections), as well as in molecular epidemiology, molecular diagnostics, genomics (mycobactomics), and resistance mechanisms. He has a strong desire to understand the spread, evolution, and interactions of viral/bacterial pathogens among humans, animals, and the environment. Ideally, this will enable him to help predict outbreaks, preserve human and animal health, and conserve the environment. Mr Ngom Ngom also hopes to participate in improving the molecular surveillance of resistant pathogens and rapid molecular diagnostic methods.
