#AI is not just a tech trend; it's a transformative force in African healthcare. By enhancing drug safety, reducing costs, and customizing treatments, AI is setting a new standard in the fight against infectious diseases. open.spotify.com/episode/5sJQRj… #AfricaHealthTechPodcast

While Africa boasts the greatest human genetic diversity, research on how genes influence drug response in Africans remains limited. This lack of data specific to African populations hinders progress in achieving optimal healthcare outcomes. I had the honour to co-author an

A new study finds that an important part of #CRISPR screens called CRISPR guides do not perform equally well in cells from people of all ancestries, which could cause experiments to miss potential new drug targets. broad.io/DepMapNews0624
