Excited! We received a new R01 from NIA to study computational drug repositioning for Alzheimer's Disease. More info in the thread 👇 from 10 months ago. We will be hiring 2 new postdocs and a software developer for this project; pls RT!
Truly a weird feeling, but I think I'm actually a bit ahead of schedule for an upcoming grant proposal submission. So as an experiment, I'm opening up my current draft for public comment.
Topic: Drug repositioning for Alzheimer's Disease.

2. The #Ebola outbreak totals are 733 confirmed & probable cases & 459 deaths. Today's @MinSanteRDC update contains a cool epi-curve showing cases by date of symptom onset & by location. Looks to me like a slight abating of cases — though that may be wishful thinking.

#Ebola thread: New info from @WHO on spread in Katwa, a major hot spot right now. Katwa (part of greater Butembo, pop: 1M) has recorded 148 cases so far. That's 21% of the outbreak total. And only 37% of cases there have come from contact lists. That's worrying.

Our @acegid_lab partners performed advanced sequencing to uncover a yellow fever outbreak in their home country Nigeria. This is how we will protect the world from pandemics #rootsnotparachutes #africanscience @WorldBank @H3Africa_CC virological.org/t/yellow-fev…

#Ebola rebounds BIG time: 12 cases reported today. That's huge. It's only the 4th time in this outbreak that there were more than 10 cases reported on a single day. There have been 36 cases reported this week (Monday onward). 1/

“We need to understand the epidemiology of Lassa and the incidence of disease in affected countries. @NCDCgov establishing surveillance systems has helped our work tremendously.”

The #LIC2019 conference just kicked off in Abuja, organized by the @NCDCgov! @CEPIvaccines is taking the lead on Lassa vaccines trials, presented in their keynote. Currently in Phase I/II development, very promising and exciting.

A total of 12,327 suspected cases of #LassaFever were recorded during a 10-year period (2009-2018). Of the 1236 total confirmed cases, 543(43.9%) cases were recorded in 2018 alone- Sylvanus Okogbenin at the #LIC2019 Conference
