Speaker Bio
Dr. Milolo is an Assistant Lecturer in the Department of Tropical Medicine at the University of Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo. Her work focuses on emerging infectious diseases, epidemiological dynamics in African settings, and the implementation of clinical research in resource-limited environments. She has developed expertise at the interface of clinical investigation, public health, and research-capacity strengthening in underserved regions.
Dr. Milolo currently serves as Study Site Coordinator in Boende, Tshuapa Province, for the PregInPoxVac clinical trial, an international study evaluating mpox vaccination in pregnant women and infants. In this role, she coordinates scientific and operational activities at the study site, oversees participant follow-up and data quality, and ensures compliance with ethical, regulatory, and Good Clinical Practice standards. She also contributes to adapting study procedures to local realities, including sociocultural and healthcare-system challenges affecting maternal and child health.
Her research interests include the interactions between biological, behavioural, environmental, and social determinants involved in the emergence and transmission of infectious diseases. She is particularly interested in integrating clinical, epidemiological, and community-level data to improve prevention strategies, outbreak preparedness, and vaccine implementation in vulnerable populations.
Dr. Milolo actively collaborates with national and international research institutions and contributes to scientific publications and multidisciplinary research networks dedicated to strengthening infectious disease research and maternal immunization efforts in Africa.
