In Senegal, we have developed technology-driven research based on observation and technology transfer especially in molecular biology, genomics, culturomics, and proteomics with the use of the first Maldi-TOF mass spectrometer in clinical microbiology in Africa. This strategy is associated with a policy of training students from the South and helping them to return back. This technology transfer and expertise has enabled us to explore the causes of non-malarial fevers of unknown causes, with the study of the repertoire of infectious pathogens in humans and arthropod vectors, to diagnose infectious diseases in rural areas with Point of Care laboratories, to isolate new bacteria, and to study pathologies linked to mass gatherings. They have also allowed us to develop transdisciplinary research including the study of the microbiota in malnourished children. We wish to continue this technological development, which provides the foundation for high-level research in Senegal.
