SEATRAC members strengthen bioinformatics training in Africa
SEATRAC members Dr. Paul Edlefsen and Dr. Raabya Rossenkhan from Fred Hutch Cancer Center are part of a major Fogarty International Center training grant focused on building up bioinformatics training in Africa.
Stellenbosch University's (SU) Division of Molecular Biology and Human Genetics have secured a R28 million grant from the US National Institutes of Health's Fogarty International Centre. The five-year funding will bolster bioinformatics training in Africa, focusing on infectious diseases, particularly tuberculosis (TB).
The grant supports the African Tuberculosis Bioinformatics Training Programme, which aims to train African students in bioinformatics, TB biology, research and more.
This collaborative initiative involves SU's Faculties of Medicine and Health Sciences (FMHS) and Science, along with partners in Africa and the United States (US), including Dr Paul Edlefsen, from the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center.
