Africa Health Research Institute (AHRI)

Africa Health Research Institute (AHRI) is a multi-disciplinary, independent health research institute based in the province of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.
AHRI uses population-based, clinical and laboratory science to address some of the country’s most critical health challenges. These include the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of HIV, TB and related diseases. To achieve this, AHRI brings together leading researchers from different fields, uses cutting-edge science to improve people’s health, and helps to train the next generation of African scientists.
Research at AHRI is led by a Faculty of 18 scientists, each of whom heads up their own group. The groups span disciplines from basic science through to systems biology, population health, health systems and social science.
AHRI’s research is truly collaborative: we work with over 60 academic and clinical institutions in South Africa and elsewhere in Africa and the world.
This Gateway hosts articles from AHRI researchers which have been published on Wellcome Open Research.
