I enjoyed a great conversation with three scientists whose work in drug discovery, biomedical research, and public health is leading to improved health outcomes across Africa and beyond. Thank you to Professor @Kelly_Chibale, Professor @ValerieMizrahi, and Dr. Akhona Vava for taking the time to speak with me about the power of research and development, today’s biggest health challenges, how African-led research drives future health breakthroughs worldwide, and more.
