Dive into the world of advanced research with the pioneering initiative of the University of Dschang. Our mission is to combat HPV and cervical cancer in Central and East Africa through innovative approaches to mathematical modelling. Find out how we are making a difference in epidemiological science.

Our Mission

Berge Tsanou and his team at the University of Dschang are leading this crucial effort to build capacity in mathematical modelling in epidemiology. Our project focuses not only on developing the skills of women scientists, but also on exploring the links between HPV, cervical cancer and HIV. We are committed to providing innovative solutions to public health challenges in Africa.

Project objectives

Our aim is threefold: to develop a solid network of mathematical modellers in epidemiology, to develop cutting-edge tools for disease surveillance and diagnosis, and to positively influence public health policy.
disease surveillance and diagnosis, and to positively influence public health policy with evidence-based strategies. We aim to create a lasting impact by improving the understanding and management of HPV and cervical cancer.

Why this project is crucial ?

HPV and cervical cancer represent a major threat to women’s health, especially in sub-Saharan Africa where access to healthcare and education is limited. This project addresses these issues by developing a deeper understanding of the interactions between HPV, cervical cancer and HIV.

Ours Aims

Find out more about our specific aims, including training mathematical modellers in epidemiology, developing tools for disease surveillance, and influencing public health policy. Our vision is to create a lasting impact by improving the management and understanding of disease in Africa.

Methodology

Our methodology is based on mathematical modelling, statistical analysis and interdisciplinary collaboration. We combine advanced data collection and analysis techniques to understand epidemiological trends and develop effective strategies to combat these diseases.

Project impact

The impact of our work goes beyond academic boundaries. As well as strengthening public health research, we aim to have a direct impact on the lives of people affected by these diseases by providing practical tools for diagnosis and prevention.

Our partners and collaborators

This project would not have been possible without the support of our academic, organisational and government partners. Their contribution ranges from the provision of resources to active participation in the research and implementation of strategies.
