Dr Moirana is currently a lecturer at the Nelson Mandela African Institution of Science and Technology (NM-AIST) in the school of materials, energy, water, and environmental sciences (MEWES). Her research focuses on developing a bio-remedial bio-fertilizer derived from seaweed materials to address fluoride contamination in soils, particularly in Northern Tanzania. This work aims to reduce fluoride levels in the food chain and minimize its impact on human health.
