We're thrilled to have successfully completed the PRS workshop in Uganda After a week of learning, they coined the phrase: "If not us, then who? If not now, then when?" This powerful call to action highlights the urgency of bridging the gap in genomic research

Great to have the Uganda Hub for this year's 6th Mendelian Randomisation Conference holding in Bristol Excited that our team is selected for 3 oral talks - 2 in-person and 1 online from the hub. It is going to be a great conference!

An engaging Inaugural Lecture by Prof Rohini Mathur at Queen Mary University of London today. If you missed it, here is the key message: Health inequality is unfair and avoidable.

Massive congratulations Moneeza K Siddiqui. Well deserved !

I feel honoured to speak at the “Diversity in Clinical Genomics: Minding the gap” meeting today in Cambridge Parachute science hindered Africa's genomics. Initiatives like Human Heredity and Health in Africa empower local researchers, but more strategic efforts are needed to build capacity and leadership

#STROKE: Research Letter explores the role of genetically-encoded serum lipid levels and stroke risk in individuals of European and African descent by means of a Mendelian randomization study. #AHAJournals ahajrnls.org/3RU9IER Dipender Gill @Sfatumo Kirabo Gloria

#GERS2024 looking forward to prof Segun Fatumo at Beyond the Genome session on #diversity #genomes

Imagine a world where everyone benefits from genomic healthcare, regardless of background. At #GERS2024, I stressed the need for diverse genomic research to generate broadly beneficial findings. Let’s build capacity & educate communities to foster trust. Vivienne Parry

A brilliant panel session discussing equity in genomics research, highlighting the importance of building trust within diverse communities when driving innovation. #GERS2024 LATHA CHANDRAMOULI Segun Fatumo Dr Helena Wells

Today we’re at #GERS2024 the Genomics England Research Summit. An inspiring and informative event featuring patients, funders, clinicians and scientists, with engaging and topical panel discussions for all stakeholders in genomics and #RareDisease

Delighted to announce our new paper molecularpsychiatry Our research highlights the potential of genetics for mental health burdens in Africa The prevalence of Lifetime MDD is 23% in our population with significant association with high blood pressure Great work led by Allan Kalungi

Excited to share our new perspective Science Magazine We highlight the need for broader representation in genomic research to ensure global health equity The new MVP cohort shows progress with 29% non-EUR ancestry, but more efforts are needed in LMICs science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

We published our perspective alone alongside the newly published VA Research paper in Science Magazine The new MVP cohort shows progress with 29% non-EUR ancestry, but more efforts are needed especially in LMICs. Great work co-led with Alice Williamson science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Honored to teach at the 'McKusick Short Course' at The Jackson Laboratory, a leading event in medical genetics for nearly 60 years. My talk highlighted the importance of including all populations in genomics for accurate genetic risk prediction. Thanks to the organizers!
