Happy to see such events taking place in Tunisia 🇹🇳… it was a real pleasure being part of this @thecarpentries @Bioconductor workshop … big shout to @AmalBk11 @TnaniHedia @TunisRUserGroup for the organization
A proud moment for our community – the first #Bioconductor #Carpentries workshop in #Africa, organized entirely by a #Tunisian team! 🇹🇳 Here’s to the start of something amazing! @MariemBouhadida @TnaniHedia @MelekChaouch @ManelChaouachi @ba_inama 👏 #TunisRUG #R #bioinformatics
1/6: At today’s PGC Africa monthly meeting, we reflected on a breakthrough year for African scientists at this year’s WCPG. 35 African researchers attended the event in Singapore — the largest number in recent memory!
Fantastic oral presentations by various @PGC_Africa team leads at #WCPG2024 🇸🇬 They provide insights on different aspects of psychiatric genomic research. @lcmajara @MelekChaouch Dr. Linnet Ongeri @patkipkemoi 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 #AfricansInWCPG2024
Good to be part again of the #WPGC2024 in amazing Singapore 🇸🇬 Excited to present 2 talks and a poster… #AfricansInWCPG24 @PGC_Africa #WCPG24 #PsychgenAfrica @ISPGnet @H3ABioNet
Are you @ #WCPG24 🇸🇬 ? It's Education Day! Dr. Melek @MelekChaouch Chaouch and Dr. Lerato Majara @lcmajara will be discussing "Navigating Public Resources for Psychiatric Genetics Research: Strategies and Tools" at 9:45am Singapore time
Great achievement for the future of bioinformatics and computational biology in Africa…Another sustainability goals reached…Congratulations!!! @H3ABioNet @Nicky_Mulder @Chaimae7sam @PGC_Africa
I am pleased to announce the establishment of an African Bioinformatics Institute thanks to funding from Wellcome Trust and CZI. We seek stakeholder input to shape the ABI to meet the needs of the bioinformatics and user communities. Join us for engagement sessions to contribute.

Great achievement for Genomics in Tunisia 🇹🇳... it's a milestone for The Genome Tunisia project and another effort made to paving the way for precision medicine in Africa. Happy and proud to be part of this tremendous work...a big shout for the team... genomemedicine.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…
A great milestone for Genomics in Africa @DAISEA_AfricaBP @ThankGod_Ebenez @Pasteur_Tunis @H3ABioNet
Today, our paper with over 100 African authors showing how we trained 408 African scientists in genomics & bioinformatics through 28 regional workshops in 2023, is now published in @NatureGenet: nature.com/articles/s4158… or rdcu.be/dM5r4 & africanbiogenome.org/2024/07/08/est…
An incredible group joined us for #PRSAfrica2024 this week in🇺🇬. As we wrap up, we reflect on the value of uniting scientists working in Africa (face-2-face) to advance #genomics through skills development and collaboration💪🏿 🧑🏿🔬"If not us, then who?" | "If not now, then when?"
@PGC_Africa members at the @eventsWCS course Polygenic Risk Score in Uganda 🇺🇬. Genomics in Africa have a bright future thanks to the engagement of talented people @PGCgenetics @engageWCS #PRSAfrica2024
Always a great pleasure meeting you @SFatumo and thanks for sharing these tips for a successful career
Today at the ongoing PRS workshop organised by @eventsWCS, I gave a seminar on Precision Medicine in Africa Equally important, I offer 10 pieces of advice to this ECR cohort 1] Collaborate, don’t compete. Find the right people and collaborate with them
