Medard Kaiza’s story reads like a Hollywood movie script; his chances of making it to the top of the science field, standing shoulder to shoulder with renowned scientists in Japanese and American universities, feel like a fairytale.
Dr Kaiza grew up herding goats in rural Bukoba, a village boy lifestyle that he still cherishes to this day, sitting behind his laboratory work at the University of Pittsburgh, where he is a cancer research scientist at their human cancer centre. ‘My work centres on lung cancer and head and neck; my goal is to find a cure for cancer and also make all the efforts to make sure cancer patients live a better and prolonged life,’ he explained.
