Congratulations Dr Obonyo, Winner, Africa Forty Under 40 Awards

CCRG Research Fellow, Dr Nchafatso Obonyo has been acknowledged in the prestigious Africa Forty Under 40 Awards, taking out the Science, Technology and Innovation category.

Dr Obonyo’s ground breaking research into septic shock has enormous life-saving potential. With over 49 million cases annually, mostly in children, the knowledge he’s uncovered could be invaluable in battling sepsis and saving lives.

The Africa Forty Under 40 Awards seek to identify, honour and celebrate a cross-section of the continent’s most influential and accomplished young business leaders, who are committed to business growth, professional excellence, exceptional leadership and community service. By shining the spotlight on these young achievers, the Awards aim to build a strong platform for nominees and winners to work with the next generation of industry pacesetters while building a positive attitude in younger generations across many African cultures.

Dr Obonyo recently travelled to South Africa, representing CCRG and the Kenya Medical Research Institute Wellcome Trust (KEMRI-Wellcome) to accept his award.
