Whole-genome respiratory syncytial virus diversity and evolutionary dynamics study of strains isolated from a rural Kenyan hospital, 2002–12

James is a bioinformatician working with the Viral Epidemiology and Control group headed by Professor James Nokes at the KEMRI-Wellcome Trust Research Programme. The group is interested in the epidemiology and control of medically important viral pathogens. James's Fellowship will look at whole-genome respiratory syncytial virus diversity and evolutionary dynamics of strains isolated from a rural Kenyan hospital using a one-of-a-kind long-term hospital surveillance system.

This grant was awarded under the scheme's previous name of Master's Fellowships in Public Health and Tropical Medicine.
