It does so by connecting research to industry to tackle prevention, early detection, and treatment through impact investment and innovation.
This entirely online training of self-paced learning is designed for optimal accessibility for the busy, working, talented, African innovator. Assessment will be continuous and based on a series of practical assignments submitted online. The self-paced interactive programme and weekly workshops will require about 8-10 hours/week in total.

- A national of an African country or have indefinite leave to remain in an African country for example holding dual citizenship.
- Domiciled in an African country in which they must be a legal resident and
