Abstract

In Senegal, we have developed technology-driven research based on observation and technology transfer especially in molecular biology, genomics, culturomics, and proteomics with the use of the first Maldi-TOF mass spectrometer in clinical microbiology in Africa. This strategy is associated with a policy of training students from the South and helping them to return back. This technology transfer and expertise has enabled us to explore the causes of non-malarial fevers of unknown causes, with the study of the repertoire of infectious pathogens in humans and arthropod vectors, to diagnose infectious diseases in rural areas with Point of Care laboratories, to isolate new bacteria, and to study pathologies linked to mass gatherings. They have also allowed us to develop transdisciplinary research including the study of the microbiota in malnourished children. We wish to continue this technological development, which provides the foundation for high-level research in Senegal.

大学医院研究所研究了从马赛到达喀尔的地中海感染。

在塞内加尔，我们开展了基于观察和技术转让的技术驱动研究，特别是在分子生物学、基因组学、培养组学和蛋白质组学方面，在非洲临床微生物学领域使用了第一台Maldi-TOF质谱仪。这一战略与培训来自南方的学生并帮助他们回国的政策有关。这种技术转让和专门知识使我们能够通过研究人类和节肢动物媒介的传染性病原体，探索原因不明的非疟疾性发烧的原因，通过医疗点实验室诊断农村地区的传染病，分离新的细菌，并研究与大规模集会有关的病理学。它们还使我们能够开展跨学科研究，包括对营养不良儿童微生物群的研究。我们希望继续这一技术发展，它为塞内加尔的高水平研究提供了基础。
