African Pharmacogenomics Consortium: Consolidating pharmacogenomics knowledge, capacity development and translation in Africa

2019-06-04

Abstract excerpt

The African Pharmacogenomics Consortium (APC) was formally launched on the 6th September 2018. This white paper outlines its vision, and objectives towards addressing challenges of conducting and applying pharmacogenomics in Africa and identifies opportunities for advancement of individualized drugs use on the continent. Africa, especially south of the Sahara, is beset with a huge burden of infectious diseases wi...
