    Hello Everybody!
    My name is Gizachew Taddesse AKALU (BSc, MSc); I am a certified Medical Laboratory Technologist, and Clinical Laboratory Sciences Specialist (Diagnostics and Public Health Microbiology).
    Currently, I am the Executive Director of Ethiopian Medical Laboratory Association (EMLA); and national representative of the international federation of Clinical Chemistry and laboratory medicine (IFCC – LM). I am an associate members and lecturer at Ethiopian Catholic University-St Thomas Aquinas (ECUSTA). I used to teach Public Health Microbiology and Professional Ethics Courses.

    I am trained in project management, advanced course on diagnostics (ACDx), clinical trials pertaining to in-vitro diagnostics and medical devices, and most importantly in quality laboratory management system with ISO 15189 particular requirements for medical-clinical laboratories to mention a few. I have successfully led and directed more than 15 trainings, CME’s and workshops for professionals in laboratory medicine.

    My tenure in laboratory medicine spans for almost 18 years reflecting strong and innovative leadership skills coupled with hands-on experiences in Clinical Chemistry/Biochemistry, Immuno-chemistry, Hematology, Immunohaematology, Medical Microbiology, including Diagnostics and Public Health Microbiology. I have been instrumental in introducing in-vitro diagnostics and medical devices harmonization and regulatory frame work in Ethiopia, and championing in most of the African countries by serving as a TWG member for Pan African Harmonization Working Party (PAHWP).

    Now, I have a vision to re-structure and re-shape the future of laboratory medicine, and revitalize the in-vitro diagnostics and emerging diagnostic industries for local production, sustainable growth and development with the ultimate goal of enhancing access to diagnostic technologies to our nations.

    With regard to research I do have a special interest on carcinogenic microorganisms- especially on H. pylori and HBV; and on all forms of Tuberculosis. Recently I am the PI of a pilot study on HBV among HCWs, will share you the result.

    Hello! I'm very glad to meet you. I’m graduate student, medical resident of russian federal research center in Saint Petersburg. I am specialized in endocrinology. My day job is clinical work with in-patients, but I'm also doing some scientific researches in laboratory of molecular biology and genetic. I'm working on investigating risk factors of thyrotoxic cardiomyopathy, for example, genetic predictors. The standard of scientific researches among physicians in Russia is not high. So unfortunately I think I can't give anything interesting infirmation for you. But I'm sure I'll learn a lot of new and useful on your website.
