Our Masaka Research Station is a dynamic hub for clinical research and trial implementation in southwestern Uganda. Strategically located in an urban setting, the station supports a wide range of studies focused on infectious diseases, emerging non-communicable conditions, and innovative prevention and treatment approaches, including vaccine and therapeutic trials.

Our Kyamulibwa Research Station, located in the rural district of Kalungu in south-central Uganda, is the long-standing home of the General Population Cohort (GPC), one of Africa’s most enduring population health studies. Established in 1989, the site has evolved into a critical field station for longitudinal research in HIV, non-communicable diseases, and population health trends across generations.
