Innovative Research

We aim to conduct cutting-edge research to guide the development of new approaches to disease diagnosis, prevention, & control. Having established a world-class scientific research environment with wide-ranging technology platforms, the Centre is now optimised to conduct high-quality research into an expanded range of infectious & non-communicable diseases.

 

World-Class Training

WACCBIP has positioned itself as a major hub for training young African scientists. Since 2014, the Centre has provided fellowships for master’s, PhD, and postdoctoral training to more than 200 young scientists from more than 10 countries across the African continent. The Centre also provides opportunities for career development to industry professionals through short courses. 

 

 

Global Engagement

With strong commitment to the principles of impactful scientific citizenship, we place high premium on public & community engagement with numerous initiatives that seek to bring our Science closer to the people we do it for. Our initiatives, which have received global recognition, also provide the opportunity to deliver potentially life-saving information on disease prevention and treatment.
