Dr Shimaponda-Mataa is interested in Malaria and specifically host-parasite interactions; spatial-epidemiology; Bayesian statistical modelling with a bias to Population/Field-Lab linkages. She is currently working on malaria drug resistance, malaria gametocytaemia profiles and their relation to enzyme deficiencies for malaria management as well as severe malaria isolates in the Zambian population.
