🧪 How did we go from having no clinical trials at all to developing entirely new trial designs? And why are we conducting an adaptive basket trial? ➡️ Swipe through our carousel to explore the history of clinical trials — from James Lind’s scurvy experiment aboard HMS Salisbury to today’s adaptive master protocols. ⚓🍋 Happy #ClinicalTrialsDay from the #eWHORM team!

🌍 Happy #WorldHealthDay! This year’s theme, “Together for health. Stand with science,” is a powerful call to action. So why stand with our #eWHORM project? As an EU-funded initiative bringing together African and European partners, we’re tackling worm infections—diseases that still affect 1.5 billion people worldwide. Haven’t heard much about them? Visit our website and download our disease factsheets to learn more 📄https://lnkd.in/dqwBQUPZ #StandWithScience. Stand with us as we work to eliminate these diseases. Global Health EDCTP3

🆕 What does 20+ years of EDCTP's Africa-Europe health research actually look like in practice? It looks like the first-ever malaria vaccines, now rolled out in 21 countries. It looks like a mango-flavoured pill that protects children from worm infections. It looks like a 10-day oral treatment that replaced painful hospitalisations for sleeping sickness. It looks like HIV medicines designed for babies. Our latest publication, 𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗳𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗘𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗔𝗳𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮, brings together the real-world results of this partnership in both continents. Because progress in global health is not just measured in publications. It's measured in children who survive, families spared from devastating illness, and communities with the tools to protect themselves. Read it now 👇

Warmest congratulations, Prof. Ghyslain Mombo-Ngoma, from the entire #eWHORM team on this major achievement! 👏🌍 We would like to take this moment to express our sincere thanks for your invaluable contribution to the Gabon clinical trial within our project and for helping us advance the fight against worm infections in Sub-Saharan Africa. We couldn’t be more excited to celebrate this success with you! Centre de Recherches Médicales de Lambaréné (CERMEL)
Prof. Ghyslain Mombo-Ngoma Named to TIME’s 2026 TIME100 Health List of the World’s Most Influential Leaders in Health #BNITM-researcher Ghyslain Mombo-Ngoma has been included in the 2026 TIME100 Health list, recognising the world’s most influential leaders in health. He leads the Drug Implementation Research Group at the Bernhard Nocht Institute for Tropical Medicine (BNITM) and holds a joint professorship with the Universitätsklinikum Hamburg Eppendorf (UKE). His research focuses on clinical and implementation research on poverty-related infectious diseases, particularly malaria in sub-Saharan Africa. In a recent Phase 3 clinical trial in Gabon, he and his team tested a single-dose malaria treatment combining four established antimalarial drugs that achieved cure rates comparable to the standard three-day regimen. The approach addresses key challenges in malaria control, including drug resistance and treatment adherence. The recognition also reflects the close collaboration between BNITM, the Centre de Recherches Médicales de Lambaréné (CERMEL) in Gabon, and UKE. ➡️ time.com/time100health

❓Is #diversity in research environments just a matter of principle, or does it also lead to better outcomes? What does inclusion look like in practice for women scientists? And how can international collaboration support researchers working in endemic settings? To mark this year's ✨ International Day of Women & Girls in Science ✨ we spoke with Rella Zoleko-Manego, clinician-scientist at CERMEL in Gabon, about her journey in science, gender equity, and why inclusive research cultures matter for tackling neglected tropical diseases. 🔗 Dive into inspiring insights by reading the full interview 👉 https://lnkd.in/dZg8Ht7Y #eWHORM #WomenInScience #IDWGS Global Health EDCTP3
