African Society of Human Genetics

Our goal is to have as many people who have interest in biomedical research in Africa to attend our conferences/workshops.  Funding is continuously being sought to  sponsor speakers and other individuals that we believe will make a significant contribution to the development of the Society.

During the inaugural conference in Accra, Ghana, a committee was nominated and formally charged with the responsibility of organizing the next meeting in 2004.

The Society will continue to provide, where possible, partial support for some African researchers that are not specifically invited to attend its workshops.  All applicants for partial support will be required to provide documentation of active involvement in research with relevance to genetics.
