Prof Novel Chegou, a senior scientist within the Stellenbosch Immunology Research Group at MBHG, and Prof Craig Kinnear, a senior scientist within the Stellenbosch TB Host Genetics Research Group at MBHG , was honoured with a silver award at the SA Medical Research Council 50th Gala Event and Awards ceremony in recognition of outstanding lifetime scientific contributions to health research. This award is a significant achievement and is a result of continuous hard work, innovative thinking and successful leadership.
Upon receipt of this award, Prof Chegou had the following to say to his fellow colleagues: “Dear all. Although it is my name that is written on the certificate, I want to let you know that this is your doing and therefore for you… You all should know that every little part that you play in the group is appreciated and without you, these awards wouldn’t be possible. Thank you all.”
