Training and fellowships to allow scientists to be based at CERI at Stellenbosch University and KRISP at UKZN in South Africa.
We have already received > 250 fellows from 39 African countries. We have recently expanded support fellows from Latin American and Asian countries. Training is funded by a number of donors to expand genomics knowledge in the globe to fight epidemics and promote personalised medicine. Below some of the training programs in 2023.

Our vision is to keep introducing new and affordable technologies on the continent, providing access to high-level equipment and genomics services, funding key projects and to capacitate African scientists. As previously mentioned, we are also looking for more international funders, biotech and pharmaceutical companies and philantropists that want to contribute to our efforts. Researchers and funders can already use the genomics services at Genomics Africa and are free to contact us for a quote or for help to design/fund your project.
