 Automated visual evaluation and geospatial mapping for cervical cancer screening optimization in sub-Saharan Africa (AVE-Map)
REFNo: HS2069ES

3. To use AVE and geospatial analysis to scale up cervical cancer screening in Uganda ,2. To determine access to cervical cancer screening and referral pathways in Uganda ,1. To validate and expand use of AVE for cervical cancer screening in SSA ,We aim to leverage and develop data science expertise at our sites to first optimize and then combine AVE-based screening by health workers at peripheral health facilities with geospatial-analysis and needs-driven assessment to inform scale-up of cervical cancer screening in Uganda ,

 Tolerance and resistance responses of African bats to viral antigens: Immunological tradeoffs in zoonotic reservoir hosts.
REFNo: NS300ES

The overall goals of the proposed work are (1) to understand the role that infection tolerance plays in the ability of African bat species to serve as reservoir hosts for virulent zoonotic viruses (especially Ebola), and (2) identify the molecular and behavioral mechanisms that contribute to these tolerance phenotypes.
