5 years is a VERY LONG time for a paper to be under review.

That was the case for our recently published paper in Nature.

Submitted in 2018 and published in 2023

What do you do as an early career researcher while waiting for a very important paper to be published ?

I am delighted to share that our book "Genomics in Africa" is officially published today by CRC Press, part of Taylor & Francis Group.

The book brings together the voices and experiences of researchers advancing human genetics and genomics across the continent.

“Genomic science should not work for only a fraction of humanity. My career has been dedicated to changing that.”

In this feature, Segun Fatumo – Professor and Chair of Genomic Diversity at Queen Mary University of London – shares the high-throughput genomics and advanced computational analyses he and his team use to increase African genomic representation.

Furthermore, Segun discusses how he is strengthening genomic research capacity in Africa as well as influencing global genomics policy, encouraging a shift from including African data to empowering African scientists.

Proud to share our latest work in #NatureGenetics, which links the plasma proteome to genetic variation in individuals from continental Africa in Uganda, addressing a long-standing gap in global genomics.
