Our first PhD defense! One among our first cohort of PhD students on the Bioinformatics training program defended his thesis today. @Chriskintu2021 did research on the predictive utility of polygenic risk scores for chronic kidney disease, a condition affecting 10% of Africans.

@Zahranamuli @masiimwem @THRiVEDELTAS @Lung_Institute @Muk_BRC @MakDRGT @MakCHS_SOM @MakerereAR We are waiting! Thank you!

@masiimwem @THRiVEDELTAS @Lung_Institute @Muk_BRC @IBRH3AU_MAK @MakDRGT @MakCHS_SOM @MakerereAR Good morning Moses, kindly reach out for delivery to be made immediately.

Acknowledging the vital importance of precise sample collection in diagnostic processes, Dr. Hakim Sendagire has authored a comprehensive book on 'Correct Collection of Laboratory Specimens.' This contribution promises to significantly enhance #laboratory practices in Uganda.

@assennyonjo @ITMantwerp @Makerere To @assennyonjo, intragovernmental coordination aligns actions and resources across government entities to tackle development goals. However, it's a persistent challenge. The complexity of the government's structure and functions is often overlooked, treating it as homogeneous.
