About Us
WHO WE ARE
TIHRAD — the Triad Institute for Health Research and Development — is a Nigerian nonprofit dedicated to understanding and improving health at the intersection of people, animals, and the environment.
We were founded on a simple but urgent conviction: that the biggest health threats of our time — drug-resistant infections, zoonotic diseases, climate-related illness, and chronic disease — cannot be solved in silos. They require researchers, communities, and policymakers working across disciplines, across sectors, and across borders.
We are a youth-led organization, and that matters to us. It means we bring fresh energy, intellectual curiosity, and a genuine stake in the future we are trying to build. Our team spans pharmacy, epidemiology, microbiology, public health, and policy — and we are registered under Nigerian law as a Company Limited by Guarantee, with all proceeds reinvested into our mission.
From Ilorin to the global health stage, TIHRAD is building the kind of research and advocacy institution that African public health needs — one that is rigorous, community-connected, and unafraid to ask hard questions.
