    Malawian Hannock Tweya has been named Junior Outstanding African Scientist by the European and Developing Countries Clinical Trials Partnership (EDCTP). According to information released on the International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease website, the Malawian who is said to be one of the Union's operational research fellows, has been outstanding since he started being involved in the projects.

    For winning the award, Tweya won himself an amount of 10,000 euros.

    The 10,000-euro award recognises an outstanding African scientist working on HIV/Aids, tuberculosis and malaria research and is intended to foster the research activities of the winner.

    The Malawian was selected on the basis of his research work in Malawi since 2006, when he began participating in a national antiretroviral therapy survey of healthcare workers. He has been involved in other studies as a lead author and has been involved in training other people to conduct operational research.
    The information says Tweya started as a Junior Operational Research fellow in 2009 and was promoted to Senior OR fellow in April 2011.

    As a fellow, he is required to conduct research and submit two papers each year for publication and that Tweya's research through the Union programme has ranged from determining the incidence of pregnancy among women on ART in urban Malawi to assessing TB treatment outcomes of new smear-positive TB patients in relation to their HIV status.

    One of his papers is said to have already been published in Tropical Medicine and International Health. He has also participated in a series of published studies on access to antiretroviral treatment and outcomes for special populations in Malawi, including teachers, police, the defence forces, prisoners and healthcare workers.

    Tweya completed a BSc in statistics and computer science from the University of Malawi- Chancellor College in 2005 and obtained an MSc in Epidemiology from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine in 2010.

    In addition to his work as a Union fellow, he has been Monitoring and Evaluation Officer for Lighthouse Clinic in Lilongwe, Malawi since 2006. His areas of expertise include designing qualitative and quantitative research tools in health related areas; managing large databases for programme monitoring; and quantitative analysis of both cross-sectional and longitudinal data.

    Great News. Congratulations with all my heart for this success. Your name is hard to spell "Malawian Hannock Tweya" Still you value very much. If I'm not wrong he was to attend a meting of the Los Angeles doctors. Its very rare that people like him get noticed. Africa is proud of you.
