Fairbanks Dr. Daryl Drummond, cofounder of Rwanda-owned Akagera Medicines presented a fluorescent image to Minister of Health of Rwanda, Dr. Sabin Nsanzimana. Unlike many existing TB drugs, which show limited distribution into necrotic granulomas and often only partially overlap with bacilli-rich regions, AKAGERA’s medicine exhibits tight “colocalization” with Mtb in nascent lesions in mice after only 24 hours. This indicates unusually efficient access to TB-dense regions. This distinctive distribution signals a Competitive Advantage for Rwanda, a more complete TB lesion sterilization compared with standard agents from the Global North. This image, which will be published later this year in a leading academic journal, together with early safety and efficacy results -- in a small sample of sick people, supports Akagera Medicines founding hypotheses.

Africa’s Ethical Crossroads in U.S. “America First” Agreements by Michael Fairbanks The Trump administration’s new “America First” health agreements with African countries are compelling: lifesaving health funding in exchange for closer cooperation on data, regional security, and economic development. These deals are re‑engineering global health for access to Africa’s critical minerals, genetic data, and commercial markets. Is this a great deal for both, in the short term, yes. Long term is less clear. And if it's not done right, it could become the twenty‑first century version of a colonial extractive economy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6142ff61a7272e784cd7c3/1d1c4657-ad74-441a-a71a-8fa22928fc68/Screenshot+2026-02-20+at+8.27.34%E2%80%AFAM.png PRESENTATIONS, ARTICLES & PAPERS - February 20, 2026: The New Times, rwanda Rwanda performs first cochlear implant surgeries for children who can't hear. For the first time, Rwanda on Tuesday, August 12, performed cochlear implant surgeries that restore hearing for people with severe auditory impairment. The surgeries, performed free of charge at King Faisal Hospital, with the support from Dr. Richard Gurgel, an Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) surgeon from the University of Utah, USA, aim to restore hearing for 10 Rwandan children with severe hearing impairment. A cochlear implant is a surgically placed electronic device that helps people with severe to profound hearing loss perceive sounds. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6142ff61a7272e784cd7c3/8af093d9-88b1-48dd-9703-b12560ad8755/Screenshot+2026-02-23+at+1.29.35%E2%80%AFPM.png PRESENTATIONS, ARTICLES & PAPERS - February 17,2026: Kigali, rwanda This week, Daryl Drummond and Michael Fairbanks traveled to the African Union annual meetings in Addis Ababa and to Kigali to report on Rwandan-owned Akagera Medicines’ impressive efficacy and safety profile observed in a small sample of patients participating in our TB therapeutic trial.

However, current approaches are limited by the requirement for personal manufacturing processes and by barriers such as limited efficacy against solid tumors, treatment-associated toxicities, insufficient CAR-T cell trafficking to the tumor microenvironment, on-target off-tumor effects, and tumor antigen escape. Here, we describe a novel delivery platform that overcomes many of these barriers by employing targeted lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) to reprogram circulating human T cells in vivo. Using a NANOBODY®-based targeting moiety, we deliver mRNA encoding a novel CD22 CAR specifically to CD8+ cells, enabling transient functional CAR expression in vitro and in vivo. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6142ff61a7272e784cd7c3/7b3e55ae-2be7-4443-8604-45d7a0a06843/Unknown.jpeg PRESENTATIONS, ARTICLES & PAPERS - January 27, 2026: The New Times, Rwanda Article by Michael C. Fairbanks: Rwanda’s next accomplishment: Turning Gates–OpenAI’s Horizon1000 into people‑centered AI The heart of Africa just became ground zero for one of the most ambitious experiments in “ethical AI” in global health—and if any country has earned the right to lead this work, it is Rwanda. Over the past two decades, the Rwandan government and people have rebuilt one of Africa’s most admired health systems from almost nothing. Community‑based health insurance has brought millions into coverage; tens of thousands of community health workers (CHWs) deliver care in every village; and a strong culture of accountability helps national priorities reach the hillside health post, not just the policy document. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6142ff61a7272e784cd7c3/94a484bf-66d8-463f-92b9-55e9fa18609c/93506.jpg PRESENTATIONS, ARTICLES & PAPERS - december 6, 2025: The New Times, Rwanda Article by Michael C.

Rwanda’s regulatory body attained WHO Maturity Level 3, attracted world-class biotech companies like BioNTech, and began hosting regional offices for the International Vaccine Institute (IVI) and the Africa Medicines Agency (AMA). Rwanda has taken bold steps to build a suitable biotech environment for investment and growth for young talent. Rwanda’s long-term success in this field will depend on one key factor: The participation and engagement of the next generation of young Rwandans in the biotech sector. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6142ff61a7272e784cd7c3/f8ea6ad4-73ef-4855-8c4f-7fa5a2806fc8/1757852167061.jpeg PRESENTATIONS, ARTICLES & PAPERS - September 11, 2025 Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire LASSA Fever update: "Dr. Daryl Drummond from Akagera Medicines offered insights from the biotech industry and provided cutting-edge scientific leadership." ~ Nicaise Ndembi, Deputy Director of the International Vaccine Institute. African leadership was convened by the International Vaccine Institute (IVI) to discuss one of the world's worst neglected tropical diseases, LASSA fever. This hemorrhagic rat-born disease asymmetrically affects pregnant women and their unborn children. There is no licensed vaccine, and no "market' that tempts global pharmaceuticals to try and solve this problem. AKAGERA Medicines has strong preclinical data and, with the support of its investors and partners, intends to provide the vaccine to eradicate the disease.
