The SNIP-AFRICA project is coordinated by Fondazione Penta ETS (Italy) and St George’s, University of London (United Kingdom). SNIP-Africa initiatives consist of: creating adaptable research infrastructure, conducting adaptive clinical trials to identify best antibiotic regimens and doses to treat difficult neonatal infections, stakeholder engagement for successful implementation of adaptive trials, and capacity building and training of African researchers and clinicians whilst fostering a culture of knowledge sharing and collaboration. A basic pharmacokinetics workshop held at Stellenbosch University in January 2024 was the first SNIP-Africa initiative to build capacity and train clinicians in basic pharmacokinetics. Upcoming events includes a Basic modelling course using Nlmixr2 and Fundamentals of clinical pharmacokinetics and model informed dosing prediction.
