Abstract

TIME100 HealthPioneers Understanding infectious diseasesChristian Happi founded the African Centre of Excellence for Genomics of Infectious Diseases, which now houses the first cutting-edge genomics-research lab of its kind in Nigeria to sequence and evaluate viruses responsible for infectious diseases—including Ebola, Lassa fever, SARS-CoV-2, and more—and help health officials to intervene and treat cases more effectively. His previous effort on a testing program for Lassa fever virus dramatically reduced the disease's death rate—from 90% to almost 24%.—Alice ParkPHOTO (COLOR) [Extracted from the article]
