Botswana is the place that our clinicians at KRISP and CERI go to learn on how to deliver the best HIV treatment program in the world! Sometimes we can not believe that Africa leads. Congratulations to Botswana and the 1000s of HIV positive people that live a positive life!

Great talks today Gates Foundation HIV reservoirs meeting. Well done to Xu, Kavidha and Catherine Khei Koofhethile, PhD for presenting the amazing data that’s come out of our consortium and the Yu & Lichterfeld Labs @ Ragon!

So happy to have been able to contribute to Yu & Lichterfeld Labs @ Ragon latest output, investigating phenotypic characteristics of HIV infected cells in latency 🎉🎉🙌🏻 It’s a great read! Hoping to utilise this tech for my own project!! Congrats to all involved! nature.com/articles/s4158…

#SANTHE is a proud sponsor of this workshop along with Gates Foundation, Africa Microscopy Initiative & NanoString. As Prof Zaza Ndlovu who is running the course said this morning at its opening, collaboration in science is vital to advance technology & solve problems we cannot solve alone.

The #CESORA intro to spatial omics research workshop sponsored by #SANTHE went well last week. It saw 21 students from over 10 countries, from a myriad of scientific ranks participate in a varied programme producing rich discussion & learning. Next course Nov'24. @TheNdhlovuLab

JOIN OUR #AIDS2024 SESSION ON #HIV CURE RESEARCH IN #AFRICA ART is difficult to sustain in LMICs & PLWH are at risk of comorbidities. Cure strategies need to be effective in sub-Saharan Africa for global health impact. IAC - the International AIDS Conference IAS - the International AIDS Society #EmpoweringAfricanScience

#SANTHE Path-to-Independence Awardee Catherine Koofhethile, Research Scientist Bots-Harvard Ptnrshp presenting her work on advancing HIV cure research in adolescents through proviral reservoir assessment after longstanding ART in Botswana. #AIDS2024 #HIVcure #AdvancingAfricanScience

This was a wonderful session highlighting HIV cure research work of early career researchers in Africa, usually under difficult circumstances. Investment in science in Africa pays off.
