Dr. Rose Bosire, MPH, MBChB, joined the University of Nairobi in 1990 to pursue a six-year degree program in medicine, completing it in 1997. \u00a0She had nursed dreams of becoming a doctor since primary school. In high school when she chose HIV as her subject matter for competition in the science congress and went all the way to the national level, she made the decision that she would focus on HIV research for her career.\u00a0 She joined the HIV research field 6 months after completing her internship. Between 2002 and 2004, she undertook her MPH training at the University of Washington, on scholarship from the International AIDS Research and Training program. Two years later, she successfully applied for the Global Research Initiative Program (GRIP) for new foreign investigators which is now in the final year of funding. Her research interests include HIV\/AIDS immunology, maternal and child health (especially PMTCT, reduction of mortality and morbidity, prevention of malnutrition), and social determinants of health. She has a strong interest in capacity building and is therefore involved in various training programs in Kenya. She is currently undertaking PhD studies at Karolinska Institute, Sweden. When not doing science, she enjoys reading biographies and children\u2019s books, hiking, visiting new places, and mentoring young people, especially teenage girls.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
