Active programmes
AI-Assisted Cancer Triage in Low-Resource Clinics
Late-stage presentation dominates cancer outcomes across the region because pathology capacity is concentrated in a handful of urban centres.
ExploreContinental Soil Microbiome Atlas
Fertiliser recommendations ignore soil biology because no regional microbiome baseline exists.
ExploreRiver eDNA Biodiversity Monitoring Network
Freshwater biodiversity loss is largely unmeasured because conventional surveys are slow and costly.
ExploreDrought-Tolerant Maize for Semi-Arid Smallholders
Rainfall variability is cutting smallholder maize yields by up to 60% in drought years.
