Aspro Eustasius Musenge

Eustasius Musenge is a biostatistician and public health researcher based in South Africa, widely associated with the University of the Witwatersrand. His scholarship centers on advanced statistical modeling and its application to population health, with a strong emphasis on epidemiology, health disparities, and disease burden in sub-Saharan Africa.

His publications highlight expertise in cancer epidemiology, including analyses of mortality trends in endometrial, ovarian, pancreatic, and other cancers, often incorporating age-period-cohort and joinpoint regression approaches. He has also examined systemic lupus erythematosus comorbidities, malaria spatial patterns, antenatal care utilization, and kidney transplant outcomes, demonstrating strength in handling large national datasets and complex survival analyses.

Musenge’s recent work integrates machine learning and natural language processing into health research, such as modeling graft survival and mining verbal autopsy narratives. This combination of methodological rigor and applied public health insight positions his contributions at the intersection of statistical innovation and evidence-informed health policy.
