Borna Nyaoke is a Kenyan physician and clinical researcher, who took over as Head of Mycetoma Research in 2023 from her previous position as Manager of Clinical Trials at Drugs for Neglected Diseases initiative/ Global Antibiotic Research and Development Partnership (DNDi/GARDP).[1][2] She previously worked as a Clinical Trial Manager at the KAVI (Kenya AIDS Vaccine Initiative) Institute of Clinical Research, based in the University of Nairobi.[3][4]
Senior Clinical Project Manager & Medical Manager at Drugs for Neglected Diseases Initiative/ Global Antibiotic Research and Development Partnership.
Nyaoke, a public health specialist, together with Dr. Roselyne Okello, a radiologist, Dr. Nida Okumu, an infectious diseases specialist and Dr. Achieng Aling, an obstetrician and gynecologist, founded Hema Foundation, a Nairobi-based non-government organisation, in 2015. All four were classmates in medical school in Nairobi. Hema focuses on inner city girls aged 17 years and younger, screening for diseases, treating illnesses, encouraging schooling and STEM subject choices; as well as offering guidance, mentoring and counselling.[5]
Following the completion of her first degree, Borna Nyaoke interned at Kenyatta National Hospital, then went on to work as a Medical Officer at The Nairobi Hospital. Since February 2018, she has worked at DNDi/GARDP, as a manager of clinical trials. Also, effective January 2015, she serves as an executive director of Health and Wellness Solutions Limited, a private healthcare practice, providing both personal and corporate health solutions to its clients. As of June 2020, she had published the findings of her research in peer-reviewed publications, including the ones listed in this reference.[6]
Nyaoke argues that Kenyans used to live longer, before they started consuming highly processed foods and maintaining sedentary lifestyles. By extension, the increasing rates of non-communicable diseases in the community is related to the diet and physical activity and/or inactivity levels of that community.[7]
