SINARA will train postgraduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and future clinician-scientists
Research Collaboration with the Centre of Pulmonary Vaccinology and Therapeutics (CREATe)
Researchers and scientists can collaborate with CREATe, the first facility of its kind in Africa, to develop inhaled treatments and vaccines for drug-resistant tuberculosis and other serious lung infections. The centre supports translational research from lab discovery to clinical application.
SINARA secured funding to establish CREATe (Centre of Pulmonary Vaccinology and Therapeutics), described as the first facility of its kind in Africa
Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Interrupting Antimicrobial Resistance Amplification (SINARA)
This opportunity allows postdoctoral fellows to work on research projects related to interrupting antimicrobial resistance amplification, particularly focusing on drug-resistant infections in hospitals and communities. The fellowship includes access to advanced sequencing technology and collaboration with clinical studies using human samples.
