https://t.co/AB3oRuFnKB Thanks to our funders: @The_MRC, @BBSRC and @JPIAMR. A special thanks to ur anonymous reviewers for central and relevant questions!
Reducing antibiotic use alone won't be enough!
Our new research in Cell Genomics @CellPress shows that poverty, overcrowding, inadequate sanitation, and limited healthcare access emerged as strong predictors of future resistance trajectory to 2050

#AI๐
Tackling AMR requires structural interventions on inequality, sanitation, nutrition and health equity alongside stewardship. We advocate that surveillance and intervention must embed AI if we are to get ahead of this threat rather than react to it.๐
We are recruiting a PDRA in bioinformatics!!
Help us fight antimicrobial resistance and diarrhoeal pathogens at the genomic level across sub-Saharan Africa.
We are hiring a Postdoctoral Research Associate in Bioinformatics @kingsmedicine to join CARE-AFRICA๐

Diarrhoea is still one of the biggest killers of young children in the region.
We will use AI to investigate the links between climate, diarrhoea & AMR, covering Shigella, V. cholerae, E. coli, rotavirus and norovirus.

@kingsmedicine@DottoriniResLab@KingsCollegeLon@EDCTP3 Congrats Tania on this amazing milestone! From genetic markers in Vibrio cholerae (Nat Commun 15, 206 (2024)) to leading CARE-AFRICAโโฌ4.8m EDCTP3 funding to develop an AI tool tackling diarrhoeal diseases in children. A huge step for global health & AMR!
A special thank you to our funder, Global Health EDCTP3, and to the panellists and reviewers who believed in our vision.

New positions will be available soon to join us in this mission. Get in touch!
Diarrhoeal disease (DD) is the third leading cause of death in children aged 1โ59 months, and most of those deaths are preventable and treatable. CARE-AFRICA is a project funded by the EU's Global Health EDCTP3, investing in AI to fight diarrhoeal diseases in children and AMR๐
An international research consortium led by Prof Tania Dottorini @DottoriniResLab@KingsCollegeLon is set to develop an AI tool to help tackle diarrhoeal diseases in children under 5 years old in sub-Saharan Africa, with โฌ4.8m funding from @EDCTP3 โก๏ธ https://t.co/7OhTpwil0j
None of this is a solo act. Deep thanks to my brilliant partners, @Makerere University, Addis Ababa Health Bureau, @jembi_hs Health Systems, @UniperugiaNews Universitร degli Studi di Perugia, @Causal_Foundry Causal Foundry, my institution, @KingsCollegeLon ๐
