As an important milestone in Egypt’s journey toward eliminating schistosomiasis and strengthening national achievements in public health, Theodor Bilharz Research Institute (TBRI), under the auspices of Prof. Dr. Ahmed Abdel Aziz, Acting Director of the Institute and Chairman of its Board of Directors, hosted the official World Health Organization (WHO) verification mission in October 2026. The mission was tasked with assessing whether Egypt has achieved the goal of eliminating schistosomiasis as a public health problem.

As part of its commitment to advancing its scientific and research contributions to cancer control and keeping pace with the latest developments in cancer diagnosis and treatment, Theodore Bilharz Research Institute (TBRI) is participating in the fourth edition of the Annual International Cancer Conference “Diagnosis and Treatment,” scheduled to take place on October 27–28, 2026, at Badr University in Cairo. The conference coincides with Breast Cancer Awareness Month, known as Pink October, and supports the objectives of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 2030. It will bring together distinguished scientists, researchers, and specialists from Egypt and around the world.

In an atmosphere filled with joy and pride in achievement, the Technical Institute of Nursing at TBRI celebrated the graduation of a new class of students.

TBRI’s PRIME LAB provides accurate and rapid diagnostic services through advanced IHC technologies, offering reliable results at competitive prices.

In a step reflecting Theodor Bilharz Research Institute’s commitment to supporting researchers and advancing its scientific publishing system, the Institute organized a specialized workshop entitled “Standards and Mechanisms of International Scientific Publishing,” in collaboration with the Egyptian Knowledge Bank (EKB). The workshop was held under the patronage of Prof. Dr. Ahmed Abdel Aziz, Acting Director of the Institute and Chairman of its Board of Directors, with the participation of a distinguished group of experts in scientific publishing.
