PhD Student, Kouassi Richard M’Bra, takes great strides in Basel

July 21st, 2016

Since 1 September 2015, PhD student on Project E Kouassi Richard M’Bra, has been reaping the rewards of a residency at the Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute of the University of Basel, Switzerland.

After being awarded a one-year Swiss federal grant to attend the Institute, M’Bra has strengthened his skills and knowledge through a number of interesting and demanding courses, predominantly in biostatistics, epidemiology and public health. He has also participated in scientific meetings in Basel and South Africa, where he shared his research results. What’s next? A return to Côte d’Ivoire in September 2016 where M’bra will complete his thesis report and then defend it in 2017.
