First-author evidence behind WHO’s 9 March 2026 TB diagnostic recommendations.
I lead production data systems for multi-country TB and HIV research at the Bamenda Centre for Health Promotion and Research. My 2026 openRxiv preprint on sputum pooling sits at the core of WHO’s March 2026 recommendation.
When a pipeline shapes a recommendation.
ORGANIZATION
WHO recommends near-point-of-care tests, tongue swabs, and sputum pooling for TB diagnosis
“New recommendations on near-point-of-care molecular tests, tongue swabs, and sputum pooling for TB diagnosis.”
Production systems that move policy.
GeneXpert MTB/RIF — 16-Lab Pooled Testing Pipeline
4,942-line pipeline ingesting multi-site GeneXpert MTB/RIF CSV exports, harmonising French/English bilingual records, consolidating pooled + individual TB test results — the data backbone of the 2026 openRxiv preprint (first & corresponding author).
MANAGER.py — Accounting API Client
15,661-line Manager.io API client. Full create / update / delete across 18 document types spanning sales, purchasing, inventory and payments, with server-side pagination and field projection, thread-parallel detail fetching, and retry with exponential backoff.
HIV Viral Load Pooling — Abbott m2000
Pipeline supporting Scientific Reports 2025 paper. Pooled testing decoding, post-dated entry detection, exponential backoff REDCap API, ThreadPool parallel exports.
TB Reach Wave 10 Cameroon
CXR-AI screening + sputum pooling workflow — 2,183 specimens processed (Jul 2024 – Mar 2025), 45% reduction in cartridge consumption. Union 2025 abstract EP10-793-19.
GHIT FujiLAM II
21,036-line multi-country diagnostic accuracy platform — 12 sites across Cameroon + Nigeria, 4 REDCap projects, 88 hand-coded DQ queries plus dictionary-generated checks, supporting WHO prequalification evidence.
Pluslife MiniDock & Molbio MTB Ultima
2,299-line pipeline behind the 1,097-participant Clinical Infectious Diseases 2025 paper on near-POC TB diagnostics. DOI 10.1093/cid/ciaf709.
