Joseph is a clinician with a postgraduate training in Public Health. He is a Deputy Trial Manager of the cluster randomized clinical trial (Add-Vacc) aiming to assess the impact of adding male HPV vaccination with one dose of HPV vaccine alongside the Tanzanian national HPV vaccination programme on the population prevalence of HPV vaccine genotypes in both males and females.

Before this trial, Joseph spent about 15 years working in a range of research projects implemented as part of the collaboration between Africa Medical Research Foundation (Amref), National Institute for Medical Research (NIMR) and the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM).
