Just ended was the official launch of the DSpace Research Project. The Utilising Data Science to Predict and Improve Health Outcomes in Paediatric HIV (DSpace) aims to use data science approaches to predict and improve health outcomes in HIV infected children in Botswana and Uganda in line with the Data Science for Health Discovery Initiative’s (DS-I Africa) mission to harness technologies to develop solutions to the continent’s most pressing public health problems.

Officially opening the event was CAfGEN PI Prof Mogomotsi S. Matshaba who pointed out that the main highlight and success from genomics research is capacity building and training of local scientists. The DSpace study is lead by Dr Gaone Retshabile based at the University of Botswana who is a PhD graduate from the CAfGEN study which started in 2014 and ended in 2022.
