We are recruiting a PDRA in bioinformatics!!
Help us fight antimicrobial resistance and diarrhoeal pathogens at the genomic level across sub-Saharan Africa.
We are hiring a Postdoctoral Research Associate in Bioinformatics @kingsmedicine to join CARE-AFRICA👇
We are hiring a PDRA in AI at @KingsCollegeLon to join CARE-AFRICA an @EDCTP3 EU-funded project building an AI clinical decision-support tool to tackle diarrhoeal disease & AMR in children under 5 across sub-Saharan Africa. International team across 🇿🇦🇺🇬🇪🇹🇮🇹🇪🇸🇬🇧
#AI 👇
Diarrhoea is still one of the biggest killers of young children in the region.
We will use AI to investigate the links between climate, diarrhoea & AMR, covering Shigella, V. cholerae, E. coli, rotavirus and norovirus.
👇
The goal: tackle AMR at the source by stopping over-prescription of antibiotics and putting a real diagnostic tool in the hands of frontline healthcare workers.

Proud to be an implementing partner on the CARE‑AFRICA project. @IDIMakerere will contribute data and expertise from Uganda to advance AI‑driven diagnosis of childhood diarrhoeal diseases and help curb antimicrobial resistance in SSA. #OneIDI@DathanMD
Congrats Tania on this amazing milestone! From genetic markers in Vibrio cholerae (Nat Commun 15, 206 (2024)) to leading CARE-AFRICA—€4.8m EDCTP3 funding to develop an AI tool tackling diarrhoeal diseases in children. A huge step for global health & AMR!

Diarrhoeal disease (DD) is the third leading cause of death in children aged 1–59 months, and most of those deaths are preventable and treatable. CARE-AFRICA is a project funded by the EU's Global Health EDCTP3, investing in AI to fight diarrhoeal diseases in children and AMR👇
An international research consortium led by Prof Tania Dottorini @DottoriniResLab@KingsCollegeLon is set to develop an AI tool to help tackle diarrhoeal diseases in children under 5 years old in sub-Saharan Africa, with €4.8m funding from @EDCTP3 ➡️ kcl.ac.uk/news/4.8m-project-…
ALT Photo of Professor Tania Dottorini with quote: "Ultimately, we want to be able to equip a frontline healthcare worker with a digital tool with the power to predict the most likely pathogen causing a child’s diarrhoeal infection based on their symptoms. Is it a bacterium or a virus? If it’s a bacterium, what antibiotics are known to be effective against it, and which ones should be avoided?"
None of this is a solo act. Deep thanks to my brilliant partners, @Makerere University, Addis Ababa Health Bureau, @jembi_hs Health Systems, @UniperugiaNews Università degli Studi di Perugia, @Causal_Foundry Causal Foundry, my institution, @KingsCollegeLon 👇
A special thank you to our funder, Global Health EDCTP3, and to the panellists and reviewers who believed in our vision.

Meet Tania Dottorini 👋, Editor-in-Chief of Microbiology Horizons - a journal advancing open, reproducible, and interdisciplinary research, bringing together authors, reviewers, editors, academics and policymakers to tackle global challenges. microb.io/4ttwnbm
Could AI help defeat one of medicine's most urgent threats?
Dr Tania Dottorini at @kingsmedicine is using advanced data science to understand why antimicrobial resistance emerges – and most importantly, how to stop it 👊

Join our team at King’s College London.
We are recruiting a Research Associate in Artificial Intelligence to work on cutting edge AI driven antimicrobial resistance (AMR) research within a major international One Health programme.
You will develop advanced machine learning and big data approaches for global AMR surveillance, working with partners across Europe and Africa. The post is initially fixed term, with the possibility of extension subject to funding.
If you have strong expertise in AI, computational modelling and large scale data analysis and want to apply it to one of the most urgent challenges in global health, apply here:
