In addition, she conducted several biosafety and biosecurity capacity-building activities in the East African region, such as implementing the "National Inventory of Dangerous Pathogens." Furthermore, in collaboration with colleagues from Public Health England, she trained 24 participants in Central Asia to become trainers in biosafety and biosecurity, which was part of CoE project 53. At the national level, she worked on a literature study concerning oncolytic viruses and the potential health risk for farm animals, but also developed a national biological field exercise for first responders aimed to enhance forensic investigation/ procedures at CBRN contaminated incident scenes.
