The H3Africa Biospecimen and Data Catalogue

The H3Africa Data Catalogue enables international and African based researchers to search for H3Africa genomics data, physical Biospecimens, their associated metadata and enable researchers to select the relevant samples, populate an online application request form for access to the data from the H3Africa Data and Biospecimen Access Committee (DBAC).

Aim of the catalogue:

  1. Search and browse H3Africa data associated with samples and genomic data
  2. Select datasets or sample sets of interest
  3. Enable ontology-based searching – find results for nearest relevant term, autocomplete search box
  4. Generate online request form for these datasets and/or sample sets –from same or different projects

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.

The Human Heredity and Health in Africa

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.

Supporting Genomics Research in Africa

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.
