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-AFRICA👇
The goal: tackle AMR at the source by stopping over-prescription of antibiotics and putting a real diagnostic tool in the hands of frontline healthcare workers.

We are hiring a PDRA in AI at @KingsCollegeLon to join CARE-AFRICA an @EDCTP3 EU-funded project building an AI clinical decision-support tool to tackle diarrhoeal disease & AMR in children under 5 across sub-Saharan Africa. International team across 🇿🇦🇺🇬🇪🇹🇮🇹🇪🇸🇬🇧
#AI 👇
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-AFRICA—€4.8m 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 1–59 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 AMR👇
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 €4.8m funding from @EDCTP3 ➡️ 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 Università degli Studi di Perugia, @Causal_Foundry Causal Foundry, my institution, @KingsCollegeLon 👇
