WHY MYAFRODNA
Our Stakeholders Benefits
NOVEL INSIGHTS
Unravelling Novel Insights in Science and Research
Novel insights drive cutting-edge discoveries, sparking innovation and pushing the boundaries of scientific research. Explore the breakthroughs shaping the future of science and technology.
Neural Research
Insights on variations in participants’ genetic make up that may determine how they respond to treatment
Better understanding of the interactions between genes, the environment, and lifestyle changes that influence health or cause diseases in underrepresented African communities.
Insights gained from investigating the underrepresented communities can aid towards the identification of new targets for drug development that will lead to novel treatment of many diseases and improved health outcomes.
Support providers and health policy makers in underrepresented communities identify community/familial genetic risk factors which would increase opportunities for early intervention and lead to improve health outcomes.
Medical Research
Support with generating information to improve personalized medicine. For example, identifying genetic markers of variable drug response
Reduced diagnostic errors
Insights on genealogy for participants and African communities
Reference genomes will be generated for underrepresented African ethnic groups
