Alliance for Global Health & Science
Overview

Collaborative Research for Global Impact

The Alliance for Global Health & Science creates partnerships between UC Berkeley and leading African research institutions to tackle shared global health challenges. By connecting Berkeley's research infrastructure with established African scientific expertise, we generate discoveries and solutions that neither could achieve alone.

Our collaborative model addresses infectious diseases that affect communities worldwide—from COVID-19 and malaria to emerging threats like mpox and antimicrobial resistance. Through joint research projects, training programs, and ongoing partnerships, we're building a network of researchers equipped to respond to current challenges and prevent future health crises.
