In 2020, Nsereko was the first-listed author and corresponding author of a peer-reviewed study on a malaria outbreak in Nwoya District, northern Uganda. The study investigated the magnitude of the outbreak, factors associated with transmission, and measures for controlling the outbreak.[3]
He also co-authored research on Ebola preparedness and risk mapping in Uganda, the early epidemiology of COVID-19 in Uganda, and gaps in measles vaccination coverage in Kasese District.[4][5][6]
Nsereko has also been identified in Uganda's national Integrated Disease Surveillance and Response technical guidelines as an epidemiologist and consultant involved in development of the guidelines.[7]
Rally driving career

His debut as a driver came at the 2018 Mbarara Rally, where he won the Clubman Rally Championship category. He had previously competed as a co-driver and said that the experience helped him learn rally pace-note and driving techniques.[8]
During the 2018 season, Nsereko won the Clubman Rally Championship category at the Masaka Rally, his second CRC victory of the season.[9]
Nsereko secured the 2018 Clubman Rally Championship title at the Kabalega Rally in Hoima. He finished the season with 97 points, 45 points ahead of Brian Kabenge, and sealed the championship with two events remaining.[10]
In 2019, Nsereko continued competing in the two-wheel-drive category. He won the opening event of the season in Mbarara and took an early lead in the 2WD championship standings with co-driver John Bosco Musisi.[11]
Nsereko continued to compete in Ugandan rallying in subsequent years. In 2024, he and co-driver John Bosco Musisi won the 2WD category of the SMC Challenge Rally in a Toyota RunX.[12]
In 2026, Nsereko competed in the Pearl of Africa Uganda Rally, the second round of the FIA African Rally Championship and Uganda's National Rally Championship. He competed with John Bosco Musisi in a Toyota Etios and recorded a qualifying shakedown time of 5:29.3 before withdrawing from the event after his car rolled.[13][14]
