Our Team

Les scientifiques derrière TACII

TACII rassemble des immunologistes, des oncologues, des virologistes, des chercheurs sur le microbiome et des experts en IA de l'ensemble des cinq régions africaines, ainsi que d'institutions partenaires en Europe et au Royaume-Uni. Ce qui nous unit est une conviction partagée : l'Afrique doit être au centre de sa propre science du cancer.
