Genomic Profiling of Kenyan Cancer Patients
This project focuses on understanding the genetic mutations specific to cancer patients in Kenya. By analyzing the genomic data of patients, we aim to develop targeted therapies that are more effective for the local population.
Objectives
HPV Vaccination Impact Study
This study assesses the long-term impact of HPV vaccination programs on cervical cancer rates in Kenya. We aim to provide data that supports the expansion of vaccination efforts and informs public health policies.
