This research examines how social relationships influence the gut microbiome using Rwenzori Angolan colobus monkeys as a model. By combining social network analysis with microbial DNA sequencing, the study explores how beneficial bacteria spread…
2026
This research uses wastewater-based epidemiology to monitor antibodies excreted by communities, providing early insights into population vulnerability to infectious diseases. By analyzing antibody trends in wastewater over time, the work helps…

Paleoclimate research uses ancient organic molecules preserved in Lake Malawi sediments to reconstruct over 1.4 million years of East African climate history. By studying plant biomarkers and microbial membranes, scientists reconstruct past rainfall…
2026
This research uses computational photography and machine learning to monitor electricity quality through the flickering patterns of everyday lights. By analyzing images captured in cities such as Kampala and Nairobi, the work offers a low-cost…
