The purpose is to strenghtening africa’s scientific workforce through advanced training in Biostatistics, Bioinformatics, and multi-omics for neurodegenerative Research.
The training covers areas sush as:
Biostatistics:
That is the application of statistical methods to the collection, analysis, and interpretation of biological or health data, with particular emphasis on medical and public health applications.
Bioinformatics
that is an interdisciplinary field that uses computational tools, software, algorithms, and statistical methods to collect, store, analyze, and interpret vast amounts of biological data, particularly genomic and protein information.
Python, R, SAS
There are dominant languages and platforms for data analysis, each with its strengths and target audience:
Python is versatile, open-source, and excellent for machine learning and general development.
R specializes in statistics and visualization, favored by academics.
SAS is a proprietary, paid solution, targeted at statistical analysis and business intelligence for large enterprises, often easier for non-developers.
Genetic Epidemiology
That is a multidisciplinary field that investigates how genetic factors influence health and disease within populations by combining principles of genetics and epidemiology.
Genomics
Study of an organism’s entire set of DNA, known as the genome, to understand how genes work, interact with each other and the environment, and contribute to traits and diseasesthe study of an organism’s entire set of DNA, known as the genome, to understand how genes work, interact with each other and the environment, and contribute to traits and diseases.
Epigenomics
That is the study of an epigenome, which is the collection of all the epigenetic changes in a cell, such as DNA methylation and histone modifications.
Metabolomics
That is the scientific study and comprehensive analysis of all the small-molecule metabolites (substrates, intermediates, and products of metabolism) in a given biological cell, tissue, or organism at a specific moment.
Microbiome
that is the community of microorganisms (such as bacteria, fungi, viruses, and other single-celled organisms) and their genetic material (the metagenome) that live in a particular environment, most commonly the human body.
Neurodegenerative Diseases
Thaht is a progressive disorder where nerve cells (neurons) in the brain and spinal cord become damaged or die, leading to loss of function and worsening symptoms over time.
Grant writing
thaht is the practice of completing an application process for a financial grant, which are often provided by governments, corporations, foundations, and trusts.
