🌟 Staff Spotlight: Joyce Shikuku 🌟

We’re excited to celebrate Joyce Shikuku, a dedicated leader serving as the East Africa Regional Coordinator at Wells Mountain Initiative (WMI). Alongside this role, Joyce is a full-time Project Manager working in Human Infection Studies at the KEMRI-Wellcome Trust Research Programme.

In her professional work, Joyce supports Human Infection Studies — carefully monitored research where healthy adult volunteers are deliberately infected with a disease-causing pathogen under controlled conditions. Conducted in Kilifi for over 13 years, these studies help accelerate the development of therapeutics aimed at preventing diseases and improving health outcomes.

At WMI, Joyce is passionate about supporting scholars as they pursue their academic dreams. She finds great joy in seeing scholars succeed through determination, resilience, and hard work.

Fun Facts about Joyce:

🌍 What She Enjoys: Traveling, adventure, and discovering new things — she believes every journey is an opportunity to learn and grow

🍽️ Favorite Meal: Chapati served with coconut beans

🎉 Special Interest: Exploring traditional marriage rites and ceremonies to learn about diverse cultures and communities

Join us in celebrating Joyce for her commitment to research, education, and empowering the next generation of leaders!
