Abstract: Genomics research has enormous potential for addressing several of the sustainable development goals, including health and well-being. With ever-evolving technologies, data generation is becoming cheaper and thus more accessible to researchers globally, however the data volume and complexity is increasing, limiting the feasibility of large genomics studies in resource limited settings, such as many African countries. Through the H3Africa consortium and other recent African genomics initiatives, the scientific community has recognized and set out to address many of these challenges. This talk will discuss some of the challenges from data generation to access and barriers to sharing, and will highlight some of the recent solutions.
