Biography
Kayla Barnes is a genomics researcher based at the Malawi-Liverpool Wellcome Trust. Kayla’s lab focuses on two programs that bookend the dynamics of health in low-income countries. These include tracking viral pathogens and vaccines using wastewater and other surveillance tools and understanding, at the omics cell level, why vaccines underperform in low-income countries. Kayla has helped establish pathogen and single cell sequencing in Malawi.
