Throwback[15-05-2023]. What an honour it was to have His Excellency JN Mamabolo, High Commissioner to South African High Commission UK & Dr Yusuf Hamied join us at my Prize Lecture. Great to have leaders who are passionate about ending #TB SU, Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences Division of Molecular Biology and Human Genetics @CiplaRSA Cipla The Royal Society

Dr. Muki Shey visiting the IBHI Unit for the coming 3 weeks, gave a riveting seminar at IMPM/MINRESI on determinants of resistance to infection with M. tuberculosis that sparked discussions among participants, expressing interest in collaborating on further research in Cameroon.

Out of 296 applicants, Dr Carine Kunsevi has been chosen as 1 of 10 early-career scientists who will pursue a 4-year fellowship to build their capacity to conduct cutting-edge research in global health (CC: African Academy of Sciences, NIH, Gates Foundation). MORE here: bit.ly/FMHS_DrKilola.

🌎 Millions of people have latent #TB infection, the asymptomatic phase in which they cannot spread TB. But in the future, they might develop active TB. Understanding who will progress from LTBI to TB and would benefit from preventive treatment will be one of the 🔑 to #endTB

Two inspiring days in Cape Town with Peggy Klaus and 37 of VALIDATE’s women researchers at the #UnstoppableConfidence Workshop. Delegates explored the challenges of being a woman in science, exchanged important ideas, and are leaving exhausted but unstoppable. 💪 #VALIDATE2025

Next up: Dr Happy Tshivhula exploring extreme TB phenotypes to identify correlates of risk. Essential for optimising vaccine design. #VALIDATE2025.

Speaking now at #VALIDATE2025 - Alba Llibre Serradell on profiling TB immune responses in lung tissue to guide vaccine design.

Delighted to have co-chaired this session with Dr Thao-Thy Pham, where fellows shared exciting updates on their pump-priming grants. I also had the honor of introducing Dr. Alba Llibre Serradel, who went on to win the Best Talk Award — congratulations, Alba! #VALIDATE2025
