A woman someone educatee of the African University of Science as well as Technology, Abuja, Sandra Musujusu, has developed an choice handling for thorax cancer.
The scientific breakthrough powerfulness atomic number 82 to a lasting solution inwards the handling of thorax cancer prevalent alongside women basis over.
This was made known on Tuesday inwards Abuja when the World Bank Education Director, Dr Jaime Saavedra Chanduvi with his squad visited the University equally usage of his assessment tour of the 10 African Centres of Excellence (ACE) centres.
The World Bank has committed almost $10 billion for the ACE projection inwards Nigeria, equally usage of efforts to encourage deport of cutting-edge query as well as specialisation of the beneficiaries institutions inwards specific evolution problems faced inwards Nigeria as well as indeed the African continent.
AUST is hosting i of the Centres of Excellence, known equally Pan African Material Institute (PAMI), with query focus electrical power, affliction detection as well as treatment.
Musujusu’s research, using macromolecular scientific discipline is aimed at developing bio-degradable polymer cloth which could live used equally choice for the handling of thorax cancer inwards the nigh future.
She revealed that her query focuses on triple negative thorax cancer which is the aggressive sub-type of thorax cancer that is mutual with women from African ancestry.
Musujusu, a Sierra-Leonian national is conducting the query nether the sponsorship of the Pan African Materials Institute (PAMI).
Out of xix African Centres of Excellence, 10 Nigerian 3rd institutions won slots to churn out particular query industrial plant that could compete effectively with global standards.
The ACE universities include Redeemers University, Mowe; Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria; University of Jos, Jos; University of Republic of Benin as well as African University of Science as well as Technology, Abuja.
Others are University of Port-Harcourt; Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile Ife; Bayero University, Kano; Benue State University, Makurdi; as well as Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta.
It would live recalled that when the Ebola Virus Disease broke out inwards Nigeria inwards the yr 2014, i of the ACE centres, Redeemers University served equally the testing site earlier it was brought nether control.
Musujusu said, “My query is genuinely centred on the evolution of bio-degradable polymers for handling of thorax cancer.”
“I volition live focusing on triple negative thorax cancer which is genuinely the aggressive sub-type of thorax cancer that is mutual with women from African ancestry.”
“I believe at that topographic point is a vivid hereafter for Africa, as well as equally a adult woman at that topographic point is much to a greater extent than nosotros tin post away create if nosotros are empowered. This respect given to me past times PAMI has empowered me to facial expression upward my studies with to a greater extent than confidence as well as genuinely contribute to the frontier of cognition as well as motion Africa forward.”
