Combatting Antimicrobial Resistance in Africa Using Data Science (CAMRA)

CAMRA is a DS-I Africa research hub focused on analyzing clinical and molecular data related to antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in bacterial infections in Nigeria and Rwanda with the aim of translating genomics of AMR to sensitive, rapid diagnostics, and effective therapeutics.

The DS-I Africa program, part of the National Institutes of Health’s Common Fund, designed to leverage data science technologies and prior NIH investments to develop solutions to the continent’s most pressing public health problems.

CAMRA efforts will be divided into two projects: Clinical and Molecular Epidemiology of Antimicrobial Resistance in Invasive Bacteria from Nigerian Children and Translating Genomics of AMR into Diagnostics and Therapeutics.
