非洲是一个传染性和非传染性疾病负担沉重的大陆。如果我们要作为一个大陆向前迈进，我们就需要使我们日益壮大的杰出青年科学家队伍具备应对本大陆特有疾病所需的技能。为此，免疫学是关键学科之一。非洲人应该有能力研究和了解影响他们的疾病，并在他们的原籍国进行尖端研究。这需要一个多方面的方法，从资助者，海外合作伙伴，也许最重要的是，非洲政府本身购买。
Africa is a continent with a large burden of both infectious and non‐communicable diseases. If we are to move forward as a continent, we need to equip our growing cadre of exceptional young scientists with the skills needed to tackle the diseases endemic to this continent. For this, immunology is among the key disciplines. Africans should be empowered to study and understand the diseases that affect them, and to perform their cutting‐edge research in their country of origin. This requires a multifaceted approach, with buy‐in from funders, overseas partners and perhaps, most important of all, African governments themselves.
