My Story

Hello, I am Shabani Muller from Tanzania, East Africa. I am currently a PhD Student at the University of Nebraska Lincoln (UNL), school of natural resources. My research interest focuses on application of one health approach to address infectious diseases of foodborne, waterborne and vector-borne origin at humans and animals interface. I like to use laboratories to confirm pathogens circulating in human, animals and in the environment.
