Enable, Empower, Succeed: Harnessing Open Science for Antimicrobial Resistance Containment

  24 February 2024

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major global health threat, especially in Western sub-Saharan Africa. Genomics research is crucial for understanding AMR’s emergence, spread, and containment. However, implementing genomics research in these areas is challenging due to limited human capacity. A three-day bioinformatics workshop in Cameroon aimed to build human capacity for genomics research using web-based tools. Participants learned next-generation sequencing concepts, data file formats, and data sharing procedures. The workshop aimed to overcome limitations like inadequate infrastructure and computational resources.
