Wafaa M Rashed: Bridging Research and Policy in Genomics

Wafaa M Rashed, Faculty Lecturer of pharmacy at Ahram Canadian University, shared a post on LinkedIn:

“Bridging Research and Policy in Genomics!

Meet Ms. Wijden Moumni from Tunisia, a participant in the Policy Advocacy in Genetics and Genomics course by PAPERI!

Before taking this course, Wijden saw research and advocacy as separate fields—but now, she recognizes their powerful connection and the importance of evidence-based advocacy in shaping genetic policies.

Key Takeaways from Her Experience:

  • Research must inform advocacy to drive meaningful policy change.
  • Coalition-building and partnerships between researchers, policymakers, and communities are essential.
  • Making scientific information accessible and correcting misinformation strengthens public trust.
  • Genetics and genomics should serve the community, ensuring ethical and impactful policy decisions.

Watch her full reflection here.

PAPERI is training and equipping Africa’s next generation of genetics and genomics policy advocates.
