Happening now at the @H3Africa Genomics and HIV Infection Workshop. – at Nairobi, Kenya

The underrepresentation of Africans in genomics is largely due to a lack of capacity, data and analytical expertise in the continent.
Last year, we trained about 25 African scientists in Polygenic Risk Score Analysis.

This year, we are doing the same, training about 25 African scientists from all across Africa - but now with a stronger training team. A few of our participants from last year's workshop are now teaching assistants on this year's course eg @Chriskintu2021
