I am Prof. Wilfred Mbacham, a dedicated Titular Professor of Public Health Biotechnology, Malarialogist, and Molecular Infectiologist. In my role as Curriculum and Capacity Developer, President of the Fobang Foundation, and head of LAPHER-Biotech, I have had the privilege of contributing to the advancement of scientific knowledge and healthcare. Currently, I am honored to hold the position of Chair of the Unit for Research and Graduate Training in Life Sciences at the esteemed University of Yaoundé I. My commitment to fostering international collaboration is further exemplified by my role as the elected Chair of the Program Management Committee of the International Atomic Energy Agency-AFRA program, representing 41 African member states since November 2015, with a renewed term in 2018.

In addition to my academic and research endeavors, I actively participate in several impactful responsibilities. Serving as the Chair of the Board of Trustees for The Malaria Consortium since 2023, I am passionately dedicated to the fight against malaria. Furthermore, I proudly hold the position of President of the National Ethics Committee for Research involving Humans in Cameroon, a role I have undertaken since 2023. My involvement in critical initiatives, such as the Ministry of Higher Education’s Task Force to validate the Khleda Anti-Covid19 Therapy (2020 – 2022) and my role as a Consultant/Resource Person on the Board of Directors at IMPM, MINRESI (2020 – 2021), reflects my commitment to addressing pressing global health challenges. It is my sincere belief that through collaborative efforts and innovative approaches, we can create a lasting impact on public health and contribute to the betterment of society.
