To determine the impact of drought on interactions among soil microbiota, coffee, and pathogens (greenhouse conditions).,3. To evaluate the effects of different soil microbiota composition (shade tree rhizosphere -derived) on the growth and tolerance of coffee trees to major diseases (greenhouse conditions).,2. To determine the extent of influence of shade trees on the soil microbiota associated with robusta coffee (field conditions). ,1.

A single-cell quantitative trait map for peripheral blood in the Ugandan population
REFNo: HS3105ES

The overarching aim of this work is to shed light on the mechanisms that genetic variation affects celltype specific gene expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) in the Ugandan population for the first time. The key objectives are: 1. Construct a cell-type specific molecular map of PBMCs in Ugandan population
2. Identification of dynamic allelic effects across PBMCs’ lineages
3. Elucidate causality of cell-type specific genetic variants for cardiometabolic traits and diseases in Uganda

Household Energy Related Burns Study - Burden and Context Evaluation in Hospital Settings in Uganda (CLEAN-Air (Africa) HERBS)
REFNo: HS3614ES

1. To conduct a retrospective review of hospital records (up to 5 years) to determine the burden of household fuel-related burns and their short-term impacts on affected individuals in Uganda.

2. To conduct a survey to examine the occurrence , severity and determining the circumstances of hospital treated burns caused by household energy use in a study period of 24 months, using the WHO Burn Registry data collection form.

3. To conduct a qualitative study gaming health care workers on knowledge, attitudes and practices of burns care including data collection of burn-related cases
