Last year's Researcher Grand Prix was a huge success and now ten new researchers are ready to enter this year’s competition. Each has four minutes to engage the audience and the judges in their research. Research fellow Marte Jürgensen will represent CIH and she will present her research on HIV in Zambia.
Jürgensen is a medical doctor from NTNU and she now does her PhD at CIH. She is researching how to get more people in Zambia to test themselves for HIV. She has been to Zambia several times to collect research data and she works closely with the University of Zambia.
