MSJ with Associate Prof. Peter Quashie | Deputy Director of Research WACCBiP, Ghana

This Friday, 10th October at 1PM BST | 3PM EAT, join us for an inspiring conversation with Associate Prof. Peter Kojo Quashie — one of West Africa’s leading molecular virologists and a driving force in epidemic science and preparedness across the continent. Prof. Quashie is Deputy Director of Research at WACCBIP (University of Ghana) and Associate Professor of Molecular Virology. His research spans HIV, SARS-CoV-2, and emerging RNA viruses, using molecular tools and data-driven approaches to strengthen Africa’s ability to detect, predict, and respond to outbreaks. He leads pioneering collaborations — from HIV cure research and zoonotic virus surveillance to climate–health resilience and vaccine R&D strategy — shaping how science informs public health policy and preparedness. In this episode, we’ll explore: 🔹 How molecular data and modelling can guide real-world health decisions 🔹 Building Africa’s epidemic science and data ecosystems 🔹 Strengthening pandemic preparedness and response capacity 🔹 Linking climate, health, and predictive research for the future #LeadershipInScience #MyScienceJourney #PublicHealthAfrica #OneHealth #DataScience #WACCBIP #HealthSecurity #MolecularVirology #PandemicScience #AfricaResearch
