Linda Frempong-Manso

I am a PhD researcher in Biomedical Data Science with research interests in malaria immunology, computational biology, and the mathematical modeling of immune responses. My work focuses on understanding liver-stage malaria immunity, particularly the dynamics of CD8⁺ T cells and cross-reactive immune protection. I integrate single-cell analysis, probabilistic modeling, and systems immunology approaches to investigate how immune responses can be quantitatively optimized against genetically diverse Plasmodium falciparum strains. I actively engage in the data science community, with a broader research vision of developing predictive mathematical frameworks that can support next-generation malaria vaccine design while reducing dependence on early-stage human experimentation.
