Over the next few days, we will spotlight the inaugural cohort of the AORTIC—Bio Usawa Microgrant Program for early- and mid-career cancer researchers.

Five winners. Five countries. One shared mission to strengthen cancer care on the continent.

Today, we are pleased to introduce Felix Mburu Njoroge from Kenya.

His project focuses on building a digital cancer screening and referral platform to strengthen care pathways in Kenya.

This is what the program is about: Locally grounded solutions to system gaps. From April 2026 to March 2027, we’ll be supporting the cohort as they turn ideas into impact.
