Congratulations to #SkollCommunity member Christian T. Happi on being named to the #TIME100 Health 2025 list! From combating infectious diseases to improving health care infrastructure, Happi has played an instrumental role in building healthier, more resilient communities across

.ACEGID is pioneering single-cell transcriptomics to study #Lassafever! This tech helps researchers understand how the virus interacts with individual cells, paving the way for breakthroughs in diagnostics, treatment & prevention. #ACEImpact

⁦⁦Christian T. Happi⁩ at #HCA2025GM on the lightning-quick genome science-driven public health response to the 2014 Ebola outbreak in West Africa 👏🏾💪🏾.

And to rapidly diagnose a yellow fever outbreak in 2018!

… and one more example of how genetics studies in Africa can reveal new disease mechanisms (type 2 diabetes).

Build Health International's work on ACEGID, which forms part of the Institute of Global Health, demonstrates a commitment to preventing outbreaks before they happen. Check out the campus expansion and laboratory upgrade and read more about ACEGID here: bit.ly/3ZpKodP

Sierra Leone is battling an mpox variant, G.1, that is rapidly spreading—25% hospitalized, thousands likely infected, cases doubling every two weeks, and now detected in the US & Europe. The country is responding. The world must join them. TIME Christian T. Happi

Join experts from across Africa to discuss how human genomics can transform precision #PublicHealth on the continent. This webinar will help set the stage for a continental agenda focused on equity, innovation, and African leadership in genomic medicine. → Date: 26 June 2025

How can Africa-led Research & Development transform health innovation on the continent? Join Africa CDC’s side event this Thursday, June 19, at the 12th EDCTP Forum in Kigali as we present new frameworks on research governance, innovation, pharmacovigilance, talent

“Africa has moved from consuming knowledge to producing it” - Christian T. Happi, director of Institute of Genomics and Global Health (IGH) in Nigeria. With foreign aid shrinking, African science is building its own future: solar power, local genomics, and homegrown innovation. scidev.net/global/opinion…

“Decolonise your mind, decolonise your research.” Prof. Tomori OYEWALE TOMORI , at a 2-day mentorship session held at our Institute, challenged us to rethink research in Africa, rooted in culture, ethics, relevance, and led by local expertise. #IGH #ProfTomori #DecolonisingResearch

IGH has deployed a team to Sierra Leone to support the Mpox outbreak response—providing sequencing, training, and real-time data. More on the Outbreak here🔗 time.com/7291478/sierra… #IGH #MpoxOutbreak #SierraLeone

CRID researchers Dr. Mewamba Estelle & Bertrand MBAKAM are training at ACEGID (June 23–July 19) to master #NGS & Oxford #Nanopore tech. Goal: Build CRID’s sequencing platform to detect insecticide #resistance in #malaria vectors. Mentored by Prof. Christian T. Happi 's team.

CRID-Cam Mewamba Estelle Bertrand MBAKAM ACEGID Christian T. Happi Love these regional collaborations.
