@joshdneufeld @JacksonTsuji Kudos on this amazing story! Proof that hard work and curiosity indeed pay off!

Prof Christian Happi & the entire ACEGID team mourn the passing of Dr Herbert Wigwe.

Dr Wigwe was a huge supporter of our work @acegid. Through his leadership, @myaccessbank funded the solar power system of our Genomics Centre, facilitating our exit from the national grid.

RIP!

Since the early 2000s, Metronidazole has mostly failed in CDI treatment. Other treatment options cost at least 60x more (Metronidazole $21; Vancomycin $1,400; Fidaxomicin $3,360). Why has Metronidazole failed?
