[AfSHG-Listserv] Clinical Training

[yehia gad]

Dear Raj,
I am sorry for my late response. I was away for some days. Our division of 
human genetics and genome research, National Research center (NRC) of Egypt, 
  offers training in all specialties of human genetics including clinical 
genetics. My department of Medical Molecular Genetics had more than 3 
training programs/year in molecular genetics for Egyptian as well as 
Mideastern students. We are currently corresponding with a young Sudanese 
researcher who wishes to start an activity on disorders of sex development 
in Sudan. We are corresponding with the BecA [Biosciences network for East 
and Central Africa, NEPAD] director about the possibility of securing the 
funds for the training.
As I might have stated before in Addis Ababa, we in the NRC are strong 
advocates for africa's development and willing to share effectively through 
capacity building and training. In other words our clinics and labs are open 
for all African colleagues who wish to further their experiences in human 
genetics as well as other fields.
Thank you for your efforts regarding the joining of AFSHG to the federation.
Best regards,

Yehia Zakaria Gad, M.D.
