#TBT to the 15th African Society of Human Genetics Conference which took place last week — Ugandan media was abuzz with our pioneering work! Media coverage includes: 📰 Uganda Government to embrace AI in health research – New Vision: lnkd.in/et29qiDr #AfSHG2025
That's a wrap on the #AfSHG2025 conference! What an inspiring 4 days filled with learning, research, networking and a vibrant exchange of ideas on ‘Harnessing Data Science and Artificial Intelligence for African Genomics’ Please stay in touch and we hope to see you soon! 🧬🌍🇺🇬
The Ugandan Bioinformatics Society was inaugurated this evening at #AFSHG2025, congratulations!
I am honored to attend the 15th African society of human genetics & the 1st Uganda Society for Human genetics & bioinformatics conference @spekeresort #AFSHG2025
Historic Launch of the Uganda Society for Human Genetics and Bioinformatics at #AfSHG2025 .
#ICYMI The Uganda Society of Human Genetics & Bioinformatics was officially established at the 15th @AfSHG_Genetics conference. The launch included a cutting of cake & a panel discussion ‘Enhancing Research & Training Excellence in Genomics & Bioinformatics in Uganda’ #AfSHG2025
#AFSHG conference is growing. Three Parallel Sessions. #AfSHG2025
Great 1st parallel session on Day 2 of the 15th @AfSHG_Genetics on ‘Rare Diseases’, ‘Sickle Cell Disease & Other Monogenic Disorders’ + ‘Neurological and Metabolic Disorders’. Prof Ghada says that we need to advocate for the importance of genetic counselling in Africa #AfSHG2025
It is not all science but fun when playing and working with African Genomes, so join us @AfSHGenetics #AfSHG2025
Co-chairs @SFatumo & Prof Wonkam have officially opened the 15th @AfSHG_Genetics & 1st Uganda Society of Human Genetics & Bioinformatics Conference taking place in Kampala, Uganda. We have over 350 guests from 18 countries. Looking forward to fruitful discussions #AfSHG2025
We see you all at the ongoing @AfSHG_Genetics meeting in Uganda. Congrats to the new PhD graduates🤣🤣& well done to the "Vice Chancellor". When we say the best human genetic conferences are those hosted on African soil, we mean it. @ambelema, @col_codza @romyboua @SFatumo
