Genomics & Rare Disease Research
Advancing African-context research on rare and genetic diseases.
Most global rare disease research is derived from non-African populations, leaving significant gaps in understanding how these conditions present, progress, and respond to interventions in African contexts.
ARRC is committed to advancing research that reflects African genetic diversity, clinical realities, and health system constraints. Our work integrates clinical observation, genomic insight, and translational research aimed at improving diagnosis, care pathways, and policy relevance.
We prioritize research that moves beyond academic publication to inform real-world decision-making, support diagnostic innovation, and contribute to equitable global knowledge production.
African populations must not remain invisible in rare disease science.
