RESEARCH FOUNDATIONS
Our mandate is to protect communities from biological threats by building the science, the products, and the people that make Africa self-reliant in health security.
Biosecurity
Pre-clinical infrastructure, biorisk management, and training build a skilled, biosecure workforce and the facilities to handle it responsibly.
Vaccine development
Antigen discovery, adjuvant formulation and immunogenicity, toxicity and safety testing for human and animal-health candidates.
Diagnostics
ELISA, RDTs and lateral-flow assays, supported by locally produced monoclonal and secondary antibodies (hybridoma and affinity-purified IgG).
Pre-clinical Research
In-vivo efficacy, toxicity and safety studies, biological-molecule production and animal-model breeding at a shared facility.
Capacity building
Empowering researchers and health professionals with the skills, knowledge, and tools to advance biomedical research and innovation.
Biomolecular Engineering
Vector and expression-system design, protein engineering and reagent optimisation the platform underneath every product.
