Using the chimpanzee adeno-vector platform as a case study, Dr. Sheila Balinda, a molecular virologist at the @MRC_Uganda shared her intellectual property (IP) journey, highlighting how she leveraged institutional support during the filing process to protect vaccine development for #CCHF and #COVIDー19.
She emphasised that once an innovation is protected, researchers are better positioned to engage in collaborative partnerships and attract further investment and funding.

The training also focused on strengthening collaboration across the research cycle. Researchers, Community Advisory Board (CAB) members, and community engagement teams reflected on their roles from problem identification to dissemination and jointly mapped the stakeholders to engage at each stage.
These inclusive discussions are aimed at shaping a stronger Community Engagement framework, one that bridges gaps, aligns roles, and keeps communities at the heart of research.
