RESEARCH SPOTLIGHT/ PUBLICATION
VACCINE RESEARCH & EQUITY

Are low- and middle-income countries adequately represented in vaccine clinical trials?
Many low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) face a high burden of vaccine-preventable diseases, yet vaccine clinical trials have historically been concentrated in high-income countries.

This research explores this important gap by examining the representation of LMICs in global vaccine clinical trials and looking at factors such as trial phase, vaccine type, funding and sponsorship.

Understanding these gaps is important for promoting more inclusive and equitable vaccine research and ensuring that evidence from clinical trials is relevant to the populations and settings where vaccines are needed.

RESEARCH SPOTLIGHT

HOW DOES DENGUE VIRUS SPREAD ACROSS AFRICA?

Dengue is a mosquito-borne disease, but how does the virus move from one region to another, and how has it changed over time?

A study featuring CVBio's CEO Prof.Mustapha Umar Imam, explores the evolutionary history and spread of Dengue virus type 2 (DENV-2) across Africa.

The findings provide valuable insight into how the virus has spread across different regions and why strong disease surveillance and research are important for better outbreak preparedness and public health response.

Congratulations to Prof.Mustapha Umar Imam and other collaborators on this important contribution to infectious disease research.
