Molecular profiling of Epstein-Barr virus genome and expression in endemic Burkitt Lymphoma (EBVL study)
REFNo: HS4198ES
1. The main goal of the study is to examine the molecular architecture of EBV, its expression pattern, and the determinants of viral pathogenesis in endemic Burkitt lymphoma. ,Perform differential gene expression and protein analysis on formalin fixed-paraffin embedded BL tissues using RT- PCR or NanoString and analyse the data for: i) differentially expressed genes and proteins ii) gene and protein expression levels iii) correlation with tumour stage and viral strains ,Perform whole genome sequencing of EBV from clinical samples (ctDNA for eBL and plasma for healthy controls) and analyse data for: i) viral strains and co-infection ii) Mutations (SNVs, Indels, and structural variants) and compare frequencies iii) mutational signatures iv) viral population structure -phylogenetics and decomposition matrices to infer evolutionary relatedness with publicly available strains. ,

In-Hospital Mortality Among Sickle-Cell Disease Patients with and without SARS-CoV-2 co-Infection at Mulago National referral Hospital.
REFNo: HS4253ES
Genral OBJECTIVE
The overall objective of this study is to determine the in-hospital annual mortality rate among SCD patients over the 2010 to 2022 13 years period, and the association with SARS-CoV-2 infection-related morbidity and mortality in Uganda.
SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES
1.To determine prevalent SCD events and time-trend (annual) of in-hospital mortality rate before the COVID-19 pandemic (2010 to 20190) at Mulago National referral & Teaching Hospital
2. To assess probable-cause of death by adjudicating the diagnosis made at the time of death
3. To investigate the individual and health system factors (e.g., pediatricians with SCD expertise, pediatric ICU, oxygen supply, blood bank, and access to Hydroxyurea) associated with in-hospital mortality
4. To assess the prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 infection and any bidirectional effect between SARS-CoV-2 and SCD on mortality among those with vs. without SARS-CoV-2 or SCD admitted in hospital between 2020 and 2022.

Leveraging Molecular Technologies to Improve Diagnosis and Management of Pediatric Acute Respiratory Illness in Resource-Constrained Settings.
REFNo: HS4539ES
Refine existing host immune response classifiers for the differentiation of bacterial and viral causes of febrile ARI among children in Uganda. Determine the etiology of febrile ARI episodes using a diagnostic assessment that includes physician adjudication and is augmented by pathogen metagenomics. Develop and internally validate a host immune response signature that differentiates between causes of pediatric ARI in Uganda using previously identified gene transcripts. Develop novel clinical algorithms for pediatric ARI to inform antibiotic treatment decisions ,The objective of this proposal is to develop novel clinical algorithms for pediatric febrile ARI in sub-Saharan Africa to identify children with bacterial illness. To augment samples collected during a previous cohort study (MUST REC 14/03-19) to achieve sufficient sample size to develop a host gene expression signature that differentiates between viral and bacterial ARI, we will enroll 160 children presenting to St. Pauls Health Center IV with ARI and 20 healthy controls.,
