Prof Kelly Chibale was recently named as one of the stand out voices by Harvard Public Health for making a new path in the African public health, representing an increasingly deep bench of leaders shaping policy and practice on the continent.

Drug discovery in Africa. In 2010, Zambia-born Chibale founded his drug discovery and development center H3D at the University of Cape Town, where his team developed antimalarial drugs now in early-phase human clinical trials – a first for an African drug discovery team. Works to optimize medicines for African populations, by studying how their livers digest common drugs. Also collaborates with industry to create jobs for young African scientists. — Linda Nordling
