Francis Ongole at Johns Hopkins University
Francis Ongole describes himself as the type of person who wants to learn everything. This desire for knowledge led him first to the field of microbiology and public health then to the field of cholera, where he has been working for the last four years in Uganda to understand cholera epidemiology, outbreaks investigation and laboratory confirmation using both rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) and the gold standard of culture and sensitivity.
