The AiBST Story

IN 2008, COLLEN MASIMIREMBWA RETURNED TO HIS NATIVE LAND OF ZIMBABWE

That fact in and of itself may not be remarkable, but the story you will read in this book is truly remarkable. Collen returned home to found a biomedical research and training institute that since then has changed the way not only Africa looks at genetics and drug development, but also the way the world looks at and studies them.

In The AiBST Story: Celebrating Twenty Years of Health Research & Innovation, you will hear from the African Institute of Biomedical and Scientific Technology's founder along with a cadre of scientists, professors, and researchers who will share their perspective and describe their role in the AiBST story. It will be clear, however, that their contributions would not have been possible without the vision, courage, and determination of one man: Collen Masimirembwa.
