The Lamberton Lab

Great to visit with the Town Clerk of Jinja, before starting. @lamberton-lab.bsky.social

🎉 A preschool-aged child has been treated with the new paediatric formulation of #praziquantel in #Uganda, by the Paediatric Praziquantel Consortium.
This is a much anticipated milestone towards the control & elimination of #schistosomiasis 👏🏾.

💡Lazaaro @mlazaaro.bsky.social has been a member of the lab since 2017. A seasoned #socialscientist, he studied #schistosomiasis perceptions & co-developed a health education intervention in #Uganda. Now a #PhD student, his focus is on people's lived experiences w/ #WASH in schisto-endemic areas 🌟

💡 On today's post of #MeetOurLabMembers is Marina @marinakglr.bsky.social, a final-year #PhD student funded by @wellcometrust.bsky.social. Her #research is a multidisciplinary study investigating the transmission and the risk of the Crimean-Congo Haemorrhagic Fever #CCHF Virus in #Uganda 🌟

Such a good way to celebrate the #WorldNTDDay!
Congratulations, Niger!

#Onchocerciasis #RiverBlindness

This #WorldNTDDay, we are reminded to UNITE with other researchers, governments and professionals as we generate evidence that drives action. By translating research into practice, we empower implementers to ACT, bringing us closer to our goal to ELIMINATE #NTDs.
