Why One Health Cannot Be Optional

- 2026-05-27

Emerging infectious diseases do not appear in isolation. They emerge through complex interactions between humans, animals, ecosystems, climate, and environmental change. For Prof Carla Mavian, Programme Director for One Health at the Centre for Epidemic Response and Innovation (CERI), those connections are central to preventing future outbreaks.

Building Africa's Vaccine Future

- 2026-05-20

For Dr Monique Barnard-Matthee, some of the most important work in vaccine development happens in the systems behind the science: the workflows, infrastructure, automation platforms, and quality control processes that determine whether a promising scientific breakthrough can actually become a reliable public health solution. She believes that work must happen in Africa, led by African scientists, using African expertise.

Strengthening Africa’s Outbreak Preparedness

- 2026-05-18

As emerging and re-emerging viruses continue to shape global public health, the ability to rapidly detect and characterise pathogens has become increasingly important, particularly in regions where surveillance resources remain unevenly distributed. Earlier this month, scientists, laboratory professionals, and public health researchers from across Africa gathered at the Centre for Epidemic Response and Innovation (CERI) at Stellenbosch University for an intensive hands-on workshop focused on one of the field’s most advanced viral sequencing approaches: VirCapSeq-VERT.
