Chalmers Award Recipient Professor Charles Wondji Talk

In his talk, Professor Wondji will speak about his scientific career so far, from his PhD in Cameroon to becoming a Professor of Genetics and Vector Biology at LSTM. He will also highlight his major contributions in capacity building, both at individual level with the training of several PhD level African Scientists, and at institutional level in his role as founder and Director of the Centre for Research in Infectious Diseases (CRID) in Cameroon. Throughout this lecture he will provide take-home messages to encourage other scientists from similar backgrounds or to encourage others to invest in capacity building, acknowledging that although not a pain-free process it is very rewarding at the end.

Professor Wondji’s talk will be followed by our President’s Reception. This is an exciting opportunity to re-connect with fellow members, make new connections, and toast to the Presidency of Professor Hemingway. There will also be complimentary drinks and canapes served throughout the event.
