[Francis Kiemo]

Hi, my name is Francis Wanjohi Kiemo. I come from Kenya and currently in my third year of PhD in Plant Science (biotechnology) at the Hungarian University of Agriculture and Life Sciences, Hungary. I work on sweet potato virus diseases trying to figure out their mechanisms of infection. I am also the chairman of the Nairobi based agricultural biotechnology awareness association (ABAA). I aspire to promote mitigation and adaptation to climate change impacts on food security and nutrition in Kenya and Africa at large through agbiotech research, education and outreach activities.
