Congratulations to Dr. Bamidele Tayo!

The Department of Public Health Sciences congratulates Dr. Bamidele Tayo on his recent award from the Doris Duke Foundation. They have awarded his application that requests support for a working meeting of the AfroSickleNet group in order to create a stable, multi-disciplinary collaboration of experts in all the core fields of sickle cell research. The funds will support a two day working meeting in Chicago of 25-35 investigators from North America and Africa to share information on existing projects and to develop new collaborations.  Way to go Dr. Tayo!
