Very excited to be part of team SAMBAI. This represents the largest single NCI/CRUK award for cancer inequities ever. For Yemaachi Biotech to be one of 2 African partners (and the only biotech) responsible for centering large part of this work in Africa is both humbling and exciting.

This week I am representing Yemaachi Biotech at the HypoVax meeting Leiden University discussing how geographic and genetic variation affect vaccine response. Our Heritage study funded by Gates Foundation seeks to contribute to our understanding of variations in vaccine response.
