RESEARCH INTEREST
My research interest is within the field of interventional pericardiology where I am evaluating the diagnostic
value of percutaneous pericardioscopy and pericardial biopsy in a population with a high prevalence of
tuberculous (TB) pericarditis. My aim is to further develop and refine current diagnostic protocols for TB
pericarditis and broaden our understanding of the pathogenesis of this disease which is responsible for
considerable morbidity and mortality throughout the African continent. I plan to complete my PhD
researching TB pericarditis and through this research to also expand the research framework into pericardial
diseases at Stellenbosch University.
CAREER OBJECTIVE
To establish myself as a leading clinician scientist in the field of tuberculous pericardial disease and pursue
a career within academic medicine in South Africa.
