Glad to have been among the 45 international scientists selected for the Alpha Fold Deep Mind education summit. I was privileged to have a 5-minute presentation on my previous work and what I propose to use Alpha fold for during my PhD. linkedin.com/posts/googlede…

My Lovely wife Habibti @DrLulenziJaliaG and I wish to congratulate Dr @Kiyimbakennedy upon successfully defending his Ph.D in Molecular Pharmacology at the @uonbi. It was an honor to supervise you. He now has the powers to read & teach. @NKabahinda, @ProfPaulWaako, @DocNjokiMaina

Day 3 of the #AlphaFoldWorkshopUG2025 at @IDIMakerere, @Makerere 🌠! Today’s sessions explored: 🔹 Extensions of #AlphaFold 🔹 Applications of #AlphaFold in vaccine & drug design, synthetic biology, and protein engineering Thanks to @GoogleDeepMind for the support. #AlphaFold

✨Day 2 of the #AlphaFoldWorkshopUG2025 at @IDIMakerere, @Makerere! Today's sessions covered: 🔹 Introduction to #AlphaFold 🔹 Assessing the quality of predicted #proteinstructures 🔹 Accessing & engaging with #AlphaFold This workshop is supported by @GoogleDeepMind. #AlphaFold

Yesterday, we visited Mount St. Mary’s Namagunga for #ScienceDay2025, where we engaged with Senior Five and Six students. The CCHF Vaccine Discovery study team shared insights on the importance of vaccines and explored various career opportunities in fields such as Basic Science, Clinical Research, Bioinformatics, Laboratory Technology, Public Health, and Vaccine Research. This event highlighted the crucial role of science in addressing real-world health challenges and inspired students to consider careers in research, medicine, and other science-related professions.

On this #HeroesDay, we honor the incredible staff and brave participants behind our research. Your dedication, courage, and contribution drive progress and change lives. You're our everyday heroes! 🙌🧬
