Responding to a question by Mafinga Urban MP Cosato Chumi (CCM), the minister for Education, Science, Technology and Vocational Training, Prof Joyce Ndalichako, said the government was yet to establish whether the institution was genuine or not.

TSSF recently announced that it would provide loans to higher education students who failed to secure them from the government.

“The government doesn’t recognise the institution. We haven’t verified its authenticity. I am told it requires students to pay Sh30,000 each as an application fee. The question is: what will happen if it fails to provide loans to students who paid the fee?

“I’m not associated nor working with it. I caution people against trusting the institution, which is not verify and the government will not be part to agreements signed by TSSF and students.”

A major focus of the Biomarkers (BMA) Group is the collection of complex metabolomic data by mass spectrometry within the context of intervention and epidemiological studies on cancer aetiology. To date, no standardized approaches exist to analyse metabolomic data and new bioinformatic tools are needed to fulfil specific needs of the Group to interpret this data. The purpose of this position is to provide support to the BMA Group for developing innovative bioinformatic approaches for the analysis of metabolomic data obtained from blood, urine and other biospecimens and to facilitate interactions with biostatisticians and epidemiologists engaged in metabolomic studies.
OBJECTIVES OF THE PROGRAMME
The main research objectives of the BMA Group are to identify, validate and implement biomarkers in order to better understand the role of environmental and lifestyle factors in cancer aetiology. This includes the study of the role of diet, physical activity, obesity, environmental factors, the microbiome and endogenous metabolism on cancer risk. These objectives are achieved through the application of mass spectrometry-based metabolomic approaches to large-scale prospective cohorts, cross-sectional and intervention studies.
The work includes the development and implementation of new bioinformatic tools to aid in the chemical identification of biomarkers of interest and in the biological interpretation of the results obtained in metabolomic studies.
DESCRIPTION OF DUTIES
Within the research framework of the BMA Group, the incumbent is expected to:

  • contribute to the planning, design and conduct of metabolomic studies to study the relationship between lifestyle, diet, environmental factors and cancer;
  • develop innovative bioinformatic tools for the analysis of metabolomic data;
  • contribute to the statistical and bioinformatic analysis of metabolomic data;
  • contribute to the preparation and writing of scientific manuscripts and/or reports;
  • present results of his/her research findings at conferences;
  • participate in the training of PhD students and postdoctoral fellows;
  • contribute to the writing of grant applications with a view to attracting funding from competitive sources in relevant research areas;
  • conduct any other related duties as may be assigned by the Supervisor.
