H3Africa Goal

Organized to enable African researchers to carry out large-scale studies on African populations, H3Africa will make use of state-of-the art genomic technologies, in combination with clinical and environmental analyses, with the aim of understanding the interaction of genes and the environment in health and disease. As part of this H3Africa will create new research capabilities in Africa by enhancing infrastructure and supporting pan- African collaborations, as well as collaborations with researchers in the United States and Europe when appropriate.

H3Africa Biorepository program is very grateful to announce their brand new website www.biorepository.h3africa.org, our new global home. Whether you are a potential client, a researcher, a partner, etc, we hope you will find it easy to navigate and that you find the information you are looking for.

Please do let us know, however, if you have any problems or any questions about the website by contacting us.

Thank you again for visiting our new website.

The Human Heredity and Health in Africa (H3Africa) Initiative aims to facilitate a contemporary research approach to the study of genomics and environmental determinants of common diseases with the goal of improving the health of African populations. To accomplish this, the H3Africa Initiative aims to contribute to the development of the necessary expertise among African scientists, and to establish networks of African investigators.

H3ABioNet is a Pan African Bioinformatics network comprising 32 Bioinformatics research groups distributed amongst 15 African countries and 2 partner Institutions based in the USA which will support H3Africa researchers and their projects while developing Bioinformatics capacity within Africa.
