Deep Roots and Bitter Greens: Legacies of Colonial-Era Forced Displacement in Western Acholiland
REFNo: SS419ES
For my Master’s thesis research I studied the way British colonial officials used Sleeping Sickness control measures to justify the forced relocation of the entire population of western Acholiland between 1911 and 1920. For my PhD dissertation research, I will use qualitative interview methods to explore how the history of this early colonial-era forced displacement is remembered and understood in Acholiland today. I intend to examine what sorts of socio-cultural changes colonial-era displacement precipitated in Acholiland. At the same time, though, I hope to trace examples of cultural resilience and examine how Acholi culture and society recovered from these upheavals over the course of the intervening century.

Saving young lives: Triage and management of sepsis in children using the point-of care Paediatric Rapid Sepsis Trigger (PRST) tool
REFNo: HS528ES
The purpose of this study is to develop and implement a digital trigger tool and electronic dashboard to guide frontline health workers in triaging children at facilities in LMICs with severe infection/suspected sepsis. This is with the goal of reducing time to diagnosis and treatment of critically ill children and ultimately reducing preventable child deaths from sepsis secondary to infectious disease.
Specifically, the research seeks to develop a prediction model and to perform clinical validation of a digital trigger tool to guide triage and treatment of children at health facilities in LMICs with severe infections/suspected sepsis.

DPART STUDY: DIHYDROARTEMISININ-PIPERAQUINE IN THE CONTEXT OF ANTIRETROVIRAL THERAPY
REFNo: HS486ES
OVERALL AIM: To determine the PK/PD of DP in HIV-infected children in the setting of first-line ART regimens including LPV/r, EFV and potentially the integrase inhibitor dolutegravir (DTG) which may become widely used in older Ugandan children.
Our primary objectives are:
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
1) To evaluate and compare the PK exposure and safety of single dose DP in HIV-infected children on LPV/r-based ART to HIV-uninfected children not on ART (Group L1 vs C1)
2) To evaluate and compare the PK exposure and safety of 3-dose DP in HIV-infected children on LPV/r-based ART to HIV-uninfected children not on ART (Group L3 vs C3a)
3) To evaluate and compare the PK exposure of 3-dose DP in HIV-infected children on EFV-based ART and HIV-uninfected children not on ART (Group E3 vs C3a).
4) To evaluate and compare the PK exposure of 3-dose DP in HIV-infected children on DTG-based ART and HIV-uninfected children not on ART (Group D3 vs C3b).
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
1) The effects of DP on antiretroviral PK in the above 3-dose arms (EFV, DTG, LPV/r and controls)
2) To evaluate the association of anthropomorphic indicators of malnutrition on PK exposure of DP in HIV-infected and HIV-uninfected children
3) Assess auto-induction of DHA from single dose to 3-dose
4) To assess the prevalence of pharmacogenetic variants in key metabolic enzymes, including UGT1A1, CYP2B6, CYP3A4, and ABCB1, and the impact of these variants on ACT and ART PK.
