Our world has changed, but science remains a time-tested tool to generate evidence to tackle societal challenges. Here is my take on how scientists need to adapt to ensure that science remains impacful. SANTHE Science for Africa Foundation Victoria Kasprowicz Denis Chopera

Excellent work by Omolara Baiyegunhi leading this work to understand the mechanisms by which virus replication capacity affects HIV clinical outcomes. HIV Pathogenesis Programme SANTHE Science for Africa Foundation

Our combination immunotherapy clinical trial shows that following ART interruption, 4/20 participants controlled HIV without ART for up to 1.5 years. This study sets the stage for more HV cure research in Africa, where the need is greatest HIV Pathogenesis Programme Africa Health Research Institute Science for Africa Foundation

Our combination immunotherapy clinical trial shows some promise towards ART-free HIV control. This offers hope for a HUV cure. Great collaboration between the community and multisector stakeholders.
