European Vaccine Initiative (EVI), in collaboration with Uganda Virus Research Institute-International AIDS Vaccine Initiative (UVRI-IAVI), organized a joint vaccinology course in Entebbe, Uganda. The course, supported by TDR and the European & Developing Countries Clinical Trials Partnership (EDCTP), aimed at strengthening local capacity in vaccinology while also building links between vaccine researchers in Africa and Europe.
The course was part of Dr Amanda Wanyana’s re-integration to UVRI-IAVI following her TDR Clinical Research & Development Fellowship, which included a one-year assignment to EVI in Germany. The Director of UVRI-IAVI, Dr Brenda Okech, also a former TDR fellow, opened the three-day course by welcoming the participants, which included medical doctors, clinical trial investigators, nurses, pharmacists and laboratory technologists from UVRI-IAVI and adjacent institutions.
