 Implementation and Adaptation of a Web-Based Clinical Education Program for Mental Health Providers in Uganda
REFNo: HS59ES

The objective of the study is to assess the acceptability and utility a of western-developed online CBT course in advancing knowledge of cognitive-behavioral interventions among staff and graduate students in the department of psychiatry at Mbarara University/Mbarara Hospital in southwestern Uganda. Because this is the first time the course is being offered in this manner in Uganda, it is necessary to first pilot and adapt the training modules to our local setting.

 Green Synthesis and Biochemical Evaluation of Anticancer Activities of Silver Nanoparticles Conjugated Ethanolic Extracts of Leaves of Annona muricata (Graviola)
REFNo: NS43ES

General Objective To undertake green synthesis and biochemical evaluation of anticancer activities of AgNPs-conjugated ethanolic extracts of leaves of Annona muricata (Graviola). Specific Objectives 1. To conduct LCMS analysis of the ethanolic extracts of leaves of Annona muricata and undertake green synthesis and characterization of the extracts’ mediated AgNPs. 2. To investigate the effects of the AgNPs-conjugated ethanolic extracts of leaves of Annona muricata on the biological properties (morphology, migration, growth, and death) of selected cancer cell lines using selected assays. 3. To evaluate the effects of the AgNPs-conjugated ethanolic extracts of leaves of Annona muricata on the transcriptome for expression of cancer associated genes in selected cancer cell lines using RNA-Seq analysis. 4. Evaluation of the in vivo anticancer activities of the AgNPs-conjugated ethanolic extracts of leaves of Annona muricata against chemically induced tumours in mice models.
