Build The Future of Global Health With Us Partner with Africa’s leading scientists to accelerate diagnostics, novel treatment approaches, and vaccine development that will change lives worldwide.
INNOVATION STARTS HERE The WITS BioHub is a first-of-its-kind research and innovation precinct in Southern Africa, uniting world-leading scientists, industry, and policymakers to advance solutions for the world’s most pressing health challenges. Anchored by the Wits Infectious Diseases and Oncology Research Institute (IDORI), the BioHub pioneers research at the critical intersection of infectious diseases and cancer — an area historically neglected in global health.
CLOSING THE GAP Africa bears 25% of the world’s disease burden but produces less than 2% of global research output — a gap the BioHub is designed to close by: Pioneering African-led innovations in biomarker discovery, diagnostics, treatment and vaccine development to impact the most critical global health threats. Creating a pipeline of next-generation African scientists, equipped with worldclass facilities and mentorship.
