Patrick Murigu Kamau Njage is a Senior Researcher in the Research Group for Genomic Epidemiology at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU). His research primarily focuses on genomic epidemiology, investigating the epidemiological drivers and environmental surveillance of gastrointestinal infections and antimicrobial resistance in refugee and rural populations. Over the last five years, he has led several research projects, including applying next-generation sequencing (NGS) in epidemiology for foodborne infections and studying the genetic locations of antimicrobial resistance in bacterial isolates. Njage is also involved in various consultancy activities and conference presentations, sharing insights on the incorporation of machine learning methods in whole genome sequencing to improve risk prediction and source attribution of pathogens like Listeria monocytogenes. He actively collaborates with PhD students and other researchers in his field, contributing to research that aligns with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, particularly in addressing global health challenges related to food safety and public health.
