@mahmoudbukar @wellcometrust Bravo!!! 👏🏾

[Mahmoud Bukar Maina PhD FRSA @mahmoudbukar]

I am deeply honoured and truly humbled to receive this congratulatory letter from the #Yobe State Government, #Nigeria issued under the directive of His Excellency, the Executive Governor of the State, on the award of my @wellcometrust Career Development Award.

This recognition not only affirms the importance of our work on #Alzheimer’s disease and #neuroscience in Africa but also highlights the state's commitment to championing innovation and scientific excellence.

I am sincerely grateful to His Excellency, Governor Mai Mala Buni, the Secretary to the State Government, and the people of Yobe for their continued support.

This letter serves as a strong reminder that #science conducted in and for #Africa matters, and that when institutions and governments invest in science, the ripple effect can be transformative.

The Accelerating Drug Discovery for FTD application cycle is open, with LOIs due May 12. The RFP supports lead optimization of novel disease-modifying compounds and in vivo testing of novel lead compounds, biologics, vaccines, or repurposed drug candidates for FTD.

🏆 Awards will provide $300,000-$350,000 based on the stage and scope of research.

🧠🚨 New preprint alert!

Check out our dementia audit analysis from Northeastern #Nigeria, which is part of our ongoing efforts to develop a dementia cohort and cellular models in the region to deepen our understanding of #dementia towards therapy

[Northern Nigeria Dementia Group @DementiaNorthNG]

Cheers to the dedicated team working towards the Unified Dementia Registry, which will pave the way for advanced dementia research in our region.
