Africa bears >90% of the global disease burden but contributes just ~2% to drug discovery. Precious Lunga reminds us: early-stage research unlocks new biology, new targets, and new therapies—the foundation for precision medicine made for us. IP matters.#AfricaResearch

New research alert 🔬 from the EDCTP Forum 2025! We developed & reviewed risk models to predict Mtb and Tb progression — paving the way for smarter use of preventive therapy. Let’s move from who's infected to who's at risk of progressing. #TBscience ERASE-TB THRU_ZIM #EDCTP2025
