DVC interdisciplinary/group award for outstanding research excellence

SACEMA was awarded one of two DVC Interdisciplinary/Group Awards at Stellenbosch University’s Research and Innovation Excellence Awards last night. This accolade highlights our contributions to advancing public health through interdisciplinary research that bridges mathematics, biology, and epidemiology to address Africa’s critical health challenges. Over the past 5 years, SACEMA has played a pivotal role in COVID-19 modelling, HIV incidence modelling, and collaborations in TB and cervical cancer prevention modelling. These efforts not only reinforce Stellenbosch University’s commitment to impactful research but also exemplify our dedication to pursuing research in service to society.

We invite our partners, students, and colleagues to celebrate this achievement with us as we look forward to the next 5 years, continuing to drive impactful research.

A big thank you to our partners and supporters who make this success possible! 👏
