Biography

Ms Nomcazululo Ncube

I completed my MSc in International Health and Tropical Medicine at the University of Oxford (2020) as a Weidenfeld and Hoffmann scholar. I did my BSc Psychology Honours Degree at the Midlands State University in Zimbabwe. During my master’s degree I conducted a research on the impact of Covid-19 public health response measures on HIV service delivery. I joined the Maiden Lab as an African Research fellow for the Molecular Epidemiology for Vaccination Policy (MEVacP) project. My role includes developing public health information for the MEVacP website. I have worked in Zimbabwe as public health practitioner with various non-governmental organisations that include Oxfam, World Vision, Care International and Mercy Corps in which I  provided technical support in responding to infectious disease outbreaks and natural disasters.
