With Gratitude to the Novartis Institute for Biomedical Research

“I am very excited about this Novartis workshop. This is a very good move by a visionary company to inspire a new generation of scientist from Africa. We have a lot of problems to be solved and we appreciate the efforts of a global leader like Novartis in preparing us to take charge. Every section of the workshop has been excellent. I will not change anything but rather ask for more capacity building. Without these kinds of activities there will only be slow progress in global health. I hope that Novartis will take this move a step higher and create a program to empower young scientists to set up their research programs.”
