Solutions only work if they fit the places we’re trying to help—that’s why international fellowships are so important to the university’s public health mission to create the quality of life that tomorrow needs. Learn more about our partnerships and how they connect to urgent global needs, like making it possible for countries to produce their own vaccines for infectious diseases. Hear the experiences of Bellicia Kamwanya, research biologist from the National Institute of Biomedical Research in the Democratic Republic of Congo, who worked with Michigan Tech researcher Vishali Sharma in the Heldt Bioseparation Lab. Michigan Tech Health Research Institute Director Caryn Heldt says collaborations like this US-Africa Frontiers Fellowship capitalize on Michigan Tech’s ability to manufacture vaccines not just in the lab but in the real world, where they can be applied to save lives.
