Addressing Health Inequities Through Precision Medicine

Genomac Labs Virtual Symposium Series – Edition 3: Addressing Health Inequities Through Precision Medicine What does this topic mean? Addressing health inequities through precision medicine focuses on ensuring that advances in genomics, data-driven healthcare, and targeted therapies benefit all populations, not just those historically overrepresented in medical research. It emphasizes fairness, access, representation, and context-aware clinical application. What this symposium will address Unequal representation of African and minority populations in genomic databases How health disparities affect diagnosis, treatment response, and outcomes The role of genetics, environment, and social determinants of health Ethical and policy considerations in genomic research and implementation Strategies for inclusive precision medicine in low- and middle-income settings Building equitable genomic healthcare systems in Africa Why this conversation matters today Over 90% of global genomic data still comes from non-African populations Precision medicine tools risk reinforcing disparities if equity is not prioritized Global health systems are increasingly adopting genomics without local context Recent global health crises have highlighted deep-rooted healthcare inequalities Africa’s genetic diversity presents both a challenge and a powerful opportunity for equitable innovation Speaker Dr. Andrea Regina Gnilane Sene (In-View) Human Genetics Department Laboratory University Cheikh Anta Diop of Dakar Faculty of Medicine, Pharmacy & Dentistry 📅 20th February, 2026 📍 Virtual Symposium Genomac Labs — advancing genomics and precision medicine with equity at the center.
