Inauguration of the African Society of Human Genetics

Nature Genetics volume 36, page 544 (2004)Cite this article

To the editor:

In 2003, the African Society of Human Genetics (AfSHG) was established. The aim of AfSHG is to equip the African scientific community and policy-makers with the information and practical knowledge they need to contribute to the field of genetics research and to attract global attention to the efforts of African scientists. An important goal of this organization is to provide opportunities for networking and collaboration among professionals working on genetic and genomic issues relevant to Africa. By achieving these goals, AfSHG will help diminish the widening gap between Africa and the Western world in biomedical science.
