University of Florida health researchers are expanding collaboration with Mount Kenya University (MKU), one of the largest private universities in Africa.

An undergraduate could get lost in the graduate student atmosphere on the top floor of Malachowsky Hall for Data Science and Information Technology, but that’s not the case for senior Harold Bishop. He has leapfrogged with ease into the mature world of graduate-level research and steady employment.

“We play a key role in responding to the cancer plan in the state of Florida, especially given the disproportionate burden in our region.” — Ramzi Salloum, Ph.D.
