At this point, I’m convinced Kotu/Kololi are officially designated as NAWEC’s sacrificial lambs. 😭 12 hours without electricity in a 24-hour day is no longer a power outage! The audacity, during an election year too? We’re not even asking for luxury, just electricity. 😩
But THIS is the outrageous part. 😩
It’s almost always evenings through the night until morning, exactly when people are home, trying to eat, sleep, work, study and, you know… actually live.
Kotu/Kololi really got the premium darkness package. @NAWEC_Gambia Lee opa na!

First time ordering on @WayfairUK and having the most ridiculous delivery experience ever! This is unbelievable! Says my parcel’s been delivered when I have not received it and nothing seems to be done when I contact them.

🫀How can Africa tackle the growing burden of hypertension?
Over 130 million people affected in sub-Saharan Africa live with hypertension, yet fewer than 10% achieve blood pressure control.
📚Our latest research highlights why combining proven interventions with locally generated evidence is key to developing solutions that work for African populations.

🇬🇲🇬🇲: Gambian Scientist Dr. Assan Jaye Honored as Honorary Fellow of WAPMLS
In a proud moment for Gambian academia and West African science, renowned researcher Dr. Assan Jaye was formally inducted today, Tuesday 29th April 2026, as an Honorary Fellow of the West African Postgraduate College of Medical Laboratory Sciences (WAPMLS).
The prestigious recognition celebrates Dr. Jaye’s remarkable 27-year career dedicated to advancing the immunology of HIV-2 and other viral infections. His groundbreaking research has significantly deepened scientific understanding of these diseases across the region. The honor also acknowledges his outstanding mentorship of numerous postgraduate and postdoctoral scientists, many of whom have gone on to become leaders in medical laboratory sciences.
Dr. Jaye expressed deep gratitude: “I am deeply honored… I share the joy of this honorable day with the West African Laboratory Scientists from Liberia, Senegal, Nigeria and The Gambia who graduated as fellows of WAPMLS.”
The ceremony highlighted collective academic excellence, with new fellows from across West Africa joining the celebration. Dr. Jaye’s achievement underscores The Gambia’s growing contribution to global health research and inspires the next generation of African scientists.

Congratulations Ebrima! Looking forward to reading this interesting piece. Well done 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Woohoo! I’m delighted to announce the publication of my PhD paper in mBio.
In this study, we describe how the antibiotic vancomycin impairs macrophage anti-fungal immunity through mitochondrial dysfunction. @theRAD_lab

Grateful to contribute to research shaping the future of malaria control. Thanks to @MARCAD7 @mrcunitgambia #Malaria #GlobalHealth #InfectiousDiseases #MalariaResearch
New research led by @ndeyfa2, a PhD student @LSHTM, shows malaria drug resistance isn’t driven by a single mutation, but a complex combination of genetic changes that help parasites with legacy mutations survive newer treatments.

The next Malaria Genomic Epidemiology Journal Club will be on October 21, featuring Mahamat Gadji (@2017Kafir) from @cam_crid.
He'll be discussing how insecticide resistance escalates in Anopheles funestus mosquitoes
Register nowr: sanger.zoom.us/webinar/regis…
ALT Malaria Genomic Epidemiology Journal Club 21 October, 2025 - 1:30pm (UK time, BST) On Zoom Gadji will share findings from a recent study that looked at the genomic drivers of insecticide resistance escalation in Anopheles funestus mosquitoes across Africa. He also currently serves as the Bioinformatics Lead of the AVecGen project, which aims to set up and build capacity in vector genomics and bioinformatics in Africa by training young scientists. This month's speaker: Mahamat Gadji, PhD candidate & Research Assistant University of Yaoundé 1 & the Centre for Research in Infectious Diseases (CRID), Cameroon
