Here are some photo memories from the Human Hereditary and Health in Africa (H3Africa) consortium meeting our team attended earlier this month.
The event featured brilliant presentations on how Africa can become competitive in genomic sciences, establish and nurture effective collaborations among African researchers on the continent, and generate unique data that could be used to improve health outcomes for Africans and global populations.
