The TRANSFORM programme is supporting three PhD candidates at the University of Warwick; one from Bangladesh, and two from Nigeria, by enabling them to carry out their primary research activities in their home countries.

Warwick Medical School welcomes Tolulope Bella-AwusahLink opens in a new window and Adeola OduguwaLink opens in a new window from Nigeria and Nadia Alam from Bangladesh.

Students were selected after a competitive process and commenced their doctoral studies in April 2022. The PhD topics include projects that are nested within TRANSFORM and stand-alone projects that are closely aligned to the TRANSFORM research priorities.

At least two University of Warwick-based supervisors and one partner country-based supervisor are allocated to each student for their PhDs.
