Dr. Elizabeth Gori

Dr Elizabeth Gori is a biomedical scientist and senior lecturer with over 15 years of experience in translational medical research, clinical biochemistry, and molecular biology, focusing on population health challenges in low- and middle-income settings. Her research integrates clinical chemistry, genomics, and epidemiology to investigate the molecular and biochemical basis of metabolic, infectious, and inflammatory diseases, including work on low-cost biomarkers for HIV-associated cardiometabolic disease, sepsis, dyslipidemia, anaemia, and metabolic disorders. She also examines host gene polymorphisms, host–pathogen interactions, and genetic variation in disease susceptibility, contributing to precision and preventive health strategies in African populations. Within the One Health framework, her studies address zoonotic pathogens such as bat-borne viruses, brucellosis, and rabies, and extend to environmental and ancient DNA applications, including eDNA-based surveillance of gorilla parasites in wildlife habitats and paleopathology at archaeological sites.
