Bio
Himran Moundi is a Research Intern with our research group. He holds a Master’s degree in Bioinformatics from the African Centre of Excellence in Bioinformatics (ACE-B) in Bamako, Mali, and a Bachelor’s degree in Biomedical Laboratory Sciences from Bazo University (2021).
He gained hands-on wet laboratory experience through internships, notably at the Institut Pasteur of Côte d’Ivoire in the Epidemic Viruses Department, where he focused on vector-borne viruses before transitioning into bioinformatics.
His current research builds on his master’s project, which investigated the causal relationship between hypertension and kidney function in African populations using bidirectional Mendelian randomization. He is passionate about genetic epidemiology, computational biology, and leveraging genomic data to address public health challenges in Africa.
