Cedric Ntambwe | cntambwe@tulane.edu
Cedrick Ntambwe, born and raised in the Congo. I am currently pursuing my Masters in Epidemiology at Tulane with an interest in infectious diseases. I had my MD degree in 2015 and I have decided to look at infectious diseases through the eye of an epidemiologist rather than as a clinician. I still believe that the best way to tackle public health issues is through community outreach. Otherwise, I am a freak fan of soccer and martial arts. I spend most of my weekends playing pool.
