Dr. Lillian Njagi is a physician-scientist and epidemiologist with extensive experience in clinical research, population health, and implementation science across sub-Saharan Africa. She holds a PhD in Epidemiology and has served as a Clinical Research Scientist at the Kenya Medical Research Institute (KEMRI), with additional postdoctoral training in infectious diseases and global health.
Her work spans large-scale research programs in tuberculosis, HIV, and other public health priorities, with a strong focus on study design, real-world evidence generation, and translating research into practice within resource-limited settings. She brings deep expertise in epidemiological methods, multi-country research coordination, and health systems analysis.
Within Amyloidosis Africa, Dr. Njagi provides strategic and scientific input on research and evidence generation, with a particular focus on epidemiology, registry development, and implementation science. Her contributions support the design of multi-country studies, strengthen data-driven approaches to understanding amyloidosis in African populations, and help bridge the gap between clinical awareness and real-world diagnosis and care pathways.
Her work plays a critical role in advancing a more comprehensive, systems-informed approach to improving the recognition and management of cardiac amyloidosis across Africa.
We advance cardiac amyloidosis care across Africa through collaboration, training, and research. Join us to change the future of heart health and empower local clinicians with knowledge and tools.
