 Identifying Predictors of Kaposi Sarcoma Immune Reconstitution Inflammatory Syndrome
REFNo: HS2151ES

We propose to utilize the ACSR ARKS study specimen biorepository and clinical database to identify predictors and biomarkers of KS-IRIS in the ARKS cohort. To determine if select clinical parameters, plasma cytokines, and KSHV burden measured at time of KS-IRIS symptom onset could serve as biomarkers of prevalent KS-IRIS. We will develop a predictive model of KS-IRIS utilizing the ARKS study to extend the findings from the HIPPOS study. To identify baseline predictors of incident KS-IRIS among adults with early-stage KS initiating ART.,

Comparative analysis of FDI in Uganda
REFNo: SS1960ES

This research aims to understand whether investment from China is different from that from other countries in terms of its implications for host low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). I operationalise the research in the context of the spillovers generated by Chinese firms and foreign-non Chinese firms on domestic firms. I focus on spillovers because these are important channels of durable productivity transfers between foreign and domestic firms, but one that has mainly been investigated quantitatively and with little comparative analysis.
