As head of Advanced Vaccine Bioprocessing at the Institut Pasteur de Dakar, Dr. Marie-Angélique Sène is leading a multigenerational group of scientists united by a mission to improve access to life-saving vaccines. Together, they’re developing Senegal’s first mRNA vaccine for Rift Valley fever—a breakthrough that could save countless lives and protect rural economies.

“The brains are here,” she says. “They just need the right tools and to be exposed to the right environment to thrive.”
