eDNA
I am a Tanzanian marine scientist with a background in Microbiology and Biotechnology, specializing in coral reef restoration and microbial ecology in the Western Indian Ocean. My work focuses on integrating environmental DNA (eDNA) with ecological monitoring to assess reef health and support evidence-based restoration strategies.
I have hands-on experience in marine biodiversity sampling, including seawater filtration and coral tissue collection, as well as DNA extraction and preparation for 16S rRNA sequencing. I have contributed to coral restoration initiatives in Mafia Island Marine Park, including nursery maintenance, outplanting, and long-term reef monitoring.

I am interested in collaborations in marine molecular ecology, particularly in the application of environmental DNA (eDNA) for biodiversity monitoring and coral reef restoration in the Western Indian Ocean. I am keen to contribute to regional capacity building and knowledge exchange initiatives that strengthen ocean science in Africa.
