About the consortia

Led by world-renowned HIV and infectious diseases researcher Prof Nelson Sewankambo, THRiVE-2 is hosted at the Makerere University College of Health Sciences in Uganda. It aims to transform East African universities into world class research hubs for key emerging health issues in the region.

By training and developing the scientific careers of PhD students and post-doctoral fellows, THRiVE-2 built on the successes of THRiVE, a regional network of research excellence, to create research leaders in infectious diseases, neglected tropical disease, maternal, neonatal and reproductive health, and non-communicable diseases.
