I was delighted to receive the CEO of UBA Cameroon, Mr Jude Anele JudeAnele this day. Although we appreciate the partnership between our institutions, we look forward to strengthening it. This will enable CRID-Cam to further perform its activities locally and internationally.

« Making functional genomic techniques accessible to African scientists » is the theme of the 2nd AVecGen workshop launched today in CRID premises. The course to be delivered to a cohort of 15 participants will last 5 days, combining theorical principles and practical learning.

I was glad to receive Dr Richard Somiari, President of ITSI-Biosciences at CRID. We identified a lot of potential routes of collaboration. This will improve procurement of scientific supplies, reagents and equipments which are key for efficient research activities in Africa.

I was glad to receive Pr. Benjamin Koudou from CSRS Côte d'Ivoire Côte d'Ivoire. We explored paths of collaboration between our institutions as we aim to mutually support each other. This will reinforce South-South collaboration, which is key for research.

Today, I signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Centre Pasteur du Cameroun. The aim is to promote scientific collaboration on infectious diseases and enhance research through joint projects. This will boost our competitiveness in the research field, as uniting strengths makes us stronger.

Coming soon. Registration link: forms.office.com/r/efqVUgcDG7

A team from #CRID under the African Centre for Vector Genomics (#AVecGen) project is participating in the 5th #Malaria Vector Symposium from April 23 – 24, 2025. The event is ongoing at the #University of #Douala on the theme: Bridging research advances and community involvement.

We are pleased to share our recent article published in Parasites & Vectors, entitled “Off-grid field-deployable molecular diagnostic platform for malaria surveillance". doi.org/10.1186/s13071… #Malariasurveillance

We wish all CRID staff a happy Labour Day. As we acknowledge their hard work, we promise to strive even harder to improve their working conditions, for greater scientific achievements. CRID-Cam #LabourDay2025 #LSTM

Join me tomorrow as a panelist on Genetics and Vector Control of Malaria. We'll discuss: new ITNs tackling pyrethroid resistance, DNA-based diagnostics for monitoring resistance, future genetic tools & capacity building for malaria elimination. forms.office.com/r/efqVUgcDG7 LSTM

It was a pleasure to meet Dr. Albert Zeh Meka, the new Permanent Secretary of Cameroon's National Malaria Control Program. We discussed pursuing collaboration as our shared goal is that scientific evidence we generate serves the entire country in effectively combatting malaria.

Today, I laid the foundation stone for the African Centre for Vector Genomics (AVecGen) building. Funded by Gates Foundation , this project aims to establish state-of-the-art genomics and bioinformatics facilities at CRID-Cam. #VectorGenomics LSTM MalariaGEN

Pleased to give a talk on the “genetic basis of resistance escalation to insecticides in malaria vectors in Africa” at the Gordon Research Conference in Barcelona, highlighting challenges, progress, and new diagnostic tools to mitigate resistance impacts on vector control tools.

Glad to share our new scientific publication titled " Susceptibility profile of Anopheles and target site resistance mechanism against organophosphates in Cameroon". Read more: doi.org/10.1371/journa… Gates Foundation Judith Dandi

New Staff Bus inaugurated Today, CRID unveiled a 30-seat Toyota bus to boost staff comfort and daily commutes. After the ribbon-cutting, Prof. Charles Wondji praised the team’s dedication to work and urged everyone to care for this new asset.

Honored to be attending the Africa CDC meeting in Entebbe - Uganda led by Prof alan christoffels, where I'm engaging with experts on Data standards for malaria molecular surveillance in public health. Public Health Alliance for Genomic Epidemiology Africa CDC

I am speaking at Science of Defeating Malaria: A Leadership Development Course. Check out my talk if you're attending the event! Via the #Whova event app

As a facilitator at the “Science for Defeating #Malaria” course in Kigali, it was a pleasure to lead the session on how to tackle Vector control challenges to accelerate malaria elimination. I was assisted throughout by Dr Magellan Tchouakui , Wellcome Trust fellow at CRID-Cam .
