Ugochinyere Agatha Okafor is an emerging researcher in climate change, environmental health, and malaria epidemiology, with a strong interdisciplinary background spanning biochemistry, microbiology, molecular biology, and public health. She has over nine years of combined experience in teaching, laboratory research, marketing, and scientific data analysis, working effectively in multicultural and collaborative environments. Her academic trajectory includes a BSc in Biochemistry, an MSc in Basic Medical Biochemistry, a Diploma in Education, a PhD in Climate Change and Education, and several specialized trainings in epidemiology, climate change, planetary health, quantitative and mixed-methods research, and medical statistics. Her research has produced 3 scientific documents, supported by 1 citation and an h-index of 1, reflecting her growing scholarly impact. She has contributed to peer-reviewed publications addressing climate–malaria interactions, community knowledge and perception of climate risks, and predictive modelling of malaria prevalence under different climate scenarios. Her work also appears in international book chapters and high-impact journals, with additional manuscripts currently under peer review. As a part-time lecturer at the University of The Gambia, she teaches biochemistry and supports research development within the Department of Public and Environmental Health. Her PhD project focuses on assessing climate change awareness, analyzing climate–malaria relationships using machine learning approaches, and evaluating climatic and non-climatic determinants of malaria burden in the Upper River Region of The Gambia. Previously, she served as a science teacher and laboratory manager, and earlier completed an internship at the Medical Research Council in The Gambia, where she worked on major microbiological and molecular surveillance projects examining pneumococcal and meningococcal disease burden in West Africa.
