Aspiring Leaders are mid-career scientists that have already their own labs, a small team and started
to win their own research support.
As we did in DELGEME they will receive funding that allow them to be paired with a renown scientist who will be their mentor and coach them for their leadership development.
Graduate Interns are drawn internally from the DELGEME Plus partners groups, PDNA and other collaborators groups/labs.
Each Principal Investigator or Lab chief will be responsible for selecting the prospective Interns.
The process for that selection will be documented and forwarded to the
Executive Board.
DELGEME Plus has initiated a new MSc in Antimicrobial Resistance surveillance and Antimicrobial stewardship for 2 years, to be accredited it at USTTB.
Master students will enroll in relevant training programs at Partner and Collaborating African Institutions.
Each student will have at least two supervisors: one from the home institution and one from the University of registration.
Our PhD students fellows will take mandatory specific lectures during the 2nd and 3rd semester of the MSc programme,
which is when the AMR specific topics will be taught.
These lectures will give the adequate AMR scientific baseline to all PhD and Post-Docs before they start their specific
research projects.

This does not mean old retired Professors.
It is rather upper-mid career scientists,
Group leaders,
Lab chiefs etc.

The Developing Excellence in Leadership and Genomics Training for Malaria Elimination and Antimicrobial Resistance Control in Africa (DELGEME Plus) program is a consortium of leading researchers from sub-Saharan Africa in the perspective of applying genomics, epidemiology and Bioinformatics to understand the dynamics of transmission as well as the mechanisms and response to chemo-therapeutic interventions aimed at malaria, tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS and bacterial infections, including those related to animal health and production.
The DELGEME Plus program is committed to training, under the banner of the University of Sciences, Techniques and Technologies of Bamako (USTTB) and in collaboration with several other partner universities and institutions in Africa, high-level scientists, to carry out state of the art research on Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) and to collaborate with health decision-makers and African communities in conducting research to produce locally relevant knowledge for malaria elimination and control of AMR.
To do this, one of the first Master’s programs in AMR in Africa, accredited by the USTTB, was launched. We are also recruiting interns, PhDs, Post-Doctoral students, who will be trained in Africa, and we are offering fellowship for aspiring leaders as well as senior researchers’ level.
The program aims, beyond training, to be:
We strongly believe that you, the public, are the essential actors of the change that Africa needs. Together, we can overcome current obstacles and build a future where public health becomes a driver of progress and prosperity for all.
Together, we have the power to make a difference. We look forward to seeing the fruits of your efforts, and to working with you to build a healthier future for our communities.
With our sincere gratitude and support,
