Brief profile: 
" Marie Aurore UGIRABE is an Assistant Lecturer in the College of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Sciences (CVAS)) at the University of Rwanda (UR). She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Animal Production from the former National University of Rwanda, Faculty of Agriculture, obtained in 2008. She joined the University of Rwanda in February 2009, where she has been involved in teaching and academic activities in animal production and animal health. She earned a Master’s degree in Tropical Animal Health with a specialization in Epidemiology in 2013. Her Master’s research focused on “A Differential Equations Model of East Coast Fever Transmission Dynamics”, contributing to the understanding of infectious disease dynamics in livestock. Her academic and professional interests focus on epidemiology, animal health, and spatial analysis. She has strong expertise in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and spatial analysis, which supports her research and teaching activities. Her work contributes to advancing the application of spatial approaches in disease modeling and epidemiology, supporting evidence-based decision-making in animal health and disease control. Marie Aurore has also received training as an entrepreneurship educator, enhancing her ability to mentor and guide students and professionals in innovation, business development, and applied research.
