Michael Kofia Landi

<p><strong>Research project:</strong> Optimizing annotation of bovine immunoglobulin sequences, novel germline allele discovery and simulation of antibody repertoire evolution in African bovine breeds.</p> <p>Michael is a DRIP MSc scholar supervised by Dr Dan Masiga (<em>icipe</em>), Dr. Jean-Baka Domelevo Entfellner (BecA-ILRI hub), Dr. Sonal Henson (ILRI) and Dr. Samwuel O. Odiwuor (Pwani University). He is currently undertaking his research project at the BecA-ILRI hub aimed at characterizing germline genes of African bovine breeds immunogenetics. He has developed a keen interest in Immunoinformatics through his master project and developing workflow management systems to enhance reproducible and scalable data analysis.</p> <p>Michael completed his undergraduate studies in Biochemistry at Pwani University and currently undertaking his MSc in Bioinformatics supported by EANBiT.</p>
