🚨 New paper out in Nature Communications! 🚨

Our study shows that multiple Omicron variants emerged independently across northeastern South Africa, with Gauteng as a key hub of early spread.

A scientific star is rising! Yajna Ramphal graduated with MSc in Bioinformatics & CompBio. She published 15 papers, including Natures & Science, in addition to 1st author publication! We are proud of graduating top women data & bioinformatics scientists! Priceless...

[Yajna @YajnaRamphal]

@houzhou Thankful for your guidance and encouragement, means alot!

[Houriiyah Tegally, PhD 🇲🇺 @houzhou]

So proud of our "AI in Science" MSc students graduating today from @AIMSacza. During some intense months, we were able to explore solving complex questions in Epidemiology using ML and AI methods thanks to these bright young minds! Excited for what will come from this.

This is the first, 1st author paper of a young, women scientist of colour in SA! So impressive with her hard work, results and summary of what we know and what we do not know of Chikungunya in Africa! A must read and worth re-tweet to support young scientists in Africa.

[Yajna @YajnaRamphal]

Grateful to have worked with such amazing individuals and team. Special thanks to @houzhou @moir_monika @JSAN4CHRIST @Tuliodna and the CERI and KRISP team for their guidance and support.

Understanding CHIKV's transmission dynamics is crucial for effective public health planning. Our findings emphasize ongoing surveillance, research, and collaboration to mitigate the impact of CHIKV in Africa.

The African genomics community strikes again! Real-time characterisation of new clade of Chikungunya in Senegal from the ongoing 2023 outbreak in Kédougou & Tambacounda. It suggest a new emergence from Sylvatic cycle (i.e. forest primates) - Pre-print https://t.co/ij8URey548 1/x
