Wafaa M Rashed: Africa’s Genomics Future — Led by Africans, United Across Generations

Wafaa M Rashed, Chair and Founder of Pan-African PGS Education and Research Initiative, shared a post on LinkedIn:

“Africa is speaking — and now, its most experienced leaders are speaking with us.

In Part I, young African advocates stepped forward with courage, conviction, and a united call for
A Genomics Policy for Africa — By Africans.

Today, Part II marks the next chapter.

Senior scientists, professors, ethicists, and policy leaders from across the continent now stand beside our advocates.

Their message is powerful and urgent:

  • Science without policy is a promise without action — a seed without soil.
  • Africa’s genomic future must be shaped with justice, ethics, and African leadership at its core.

These experts are not stepping forward to replace the new generation — they are here to stand with them, to strengthen a movement that belongs to all of Africa.

Part II represents unity across generations, across disciplines, across borders.

One mission. One goal. One Africa.

Watch Part II: The Experts Speak

If their message resonates with you, please share this widely — let the world hear Africa’s collective voice in genomics.

Africa is ready — not just to participate, but to lead.”
