Jerome Bright Ogenrwot

Jerome Bright Ogenrwot, a passionate researcher from Uganda, is dedicated to addressing the pressing issue of Polyaromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) pollution. PAHs are known to be toxic pollutants with severe health implications, especially in low-resource settings like Uganda. With a background in environmental science, Jerome is leading the development of a groundbreaking biosensor for efficient and cost-effective detection of PAHs. This innovative solution aims to revolutionize the current detection methods, which are expensive and inaccessible in many communities.

Through his work, Jerome envisions empowering policymakers with accurate data to make informed decisions on environmental pollution control measures. By reducing PAH exposure, particularly for vulnerable populations such as children and pregnant women, Jerome's biosensor has the potential to significantly improve public health outcomes in Uganda and beyond. His commitment to leveraging synthetic biology for social good exemplifies the transformative power of science in addressing real-world challenges. Jerome's work not only contributes to environmental sustainability but also paves the way for mentorship opportunities to inspire the next generation of young scientists in Uganda and beyond.
