Driving Innovation Through Multidisciplinary Research
The CERID research team comprises postdoctoral fellows, research fellows, and PhD students working across parasitology, virology, bacteriology, genomics, antimicrobial resistance, epidemiology, and public health.
These early- and mid-career scientists contribute to cutting-edge research on malaria, viral hepatitis, HIV, tuberculosis, diarrheal diseases, drug resistance, and emerging infectious diseases in Nigeria.
Through mentorship, collaborative projects, advanced laboratory training, and scientific publication, CERID is committed to developing the next generation of researchers who will strengthen health systems and disease control efforts across Africa.
