We’re at Kintampo Senior High School for the final day of the 2026 WACCBIP DELTAS SHS Outreach! 🔬
We’re starting the day with a session on One Health using a real life case study of COVID-19, students can better understand the connection between human, animal and environmental health, and how each of us can contribute to protecting them.

Our practical sessions are as vibrant as ever with science coming to life through samples under the microscope, 3D models and more.
Students learn to test water quality as well as DNA-RNA extraction techniques and biosafety practices used in rapid diagnostics for diseases like malaria and hepatitis B.

More from our #fellowssession at #WRC2025!
🧬 David Fagdéba Bara presents on cytokine dynamics in malaria-infected children in Togo. His work shows how IL-6, IFN-γ, and IL-10 levels shape infection outcomes—deepening our understanding of immune regulation in malaria.
🎗 Nora Whittle explores how chemotherapy affects breast cancer patients in Ghana. Her findings reveal immune activation, especially in HER2+ cases, challenging long-held assumptions and paving the way for African-driven immunotherapy.
🦠 Yusif Mubarik shares how Ochratoxin A, a food contaminant, enhances hepatitis B virus replication by interfering with the IFN-1 pathway, offering critical insight into liver disease risks in our region.
