Gabon centre refocuses on emerging diseases

Incoming director-general aims to reinvigorate medial institution.

The International Medical Research Centre (CIRMF) in the former French colony of Gabon wants to have something to celebrate on its 40th birthday next year. Many hope that the centre's newly appointed director-general, Jean-Paul Gonzalez, can lead the institution — which fell into disarray in the 1990s — to a position of international excellence in global health research.
