Developing an African biobank for 5 million people over the next decade.

Collecting genomic, MRI, clinical, phenotypic and demographic data.

Revolutionizing disease diagnosis and treatment through genomic diversity.

Ethics at Our Foundation

We believe genomic research must be conducted with the highest ethical standards, community engagement, and benefit-sharing to ensure equitable outcomes for all.

Community-Centered Approach:

All research is co-designed with local communities and organizations

Transparent Benefit-Sharing:

We return value to participating communities through genetic reports and healthcare improvements

Independent Ethics Advisory Board:

Guided by bioethicists, community leaders, and genetic counselors

Data Sovereignty:

Strict governance ensuring participant privacy and community ownership

Our Commitment

Building trust through transparency, creating value for communities, advancing global health equity

Transforming Global Healthcare with Africa at the Center

We partner with healthcare systems, researchers, contract research organizations, and pharmaceutical companies to unlock the power of the founder population's genetic diversity.

For Healthcare Systems

Enable accurate diagnosis and personalized treatments for African patients, reduce adverse drug reactions, and implement evidence-based screening programs that save lives and reduce costs.

For Researchers

Access comprehensive genomic, clinical, and phenotypic data from the world's most genetically diverse population to drive breakthrough discoveries in precision medicine.

For CROs

Enhance clinical trial design and execution with access to African genomic and clinical data. Improve patient recruitment, enable ancestry-informed stratification, and support regulatory submissions with population-specific insights.

For Pharmaceutical Companies

Access ethically sourced, high-quality African genomic data to accelerate drug discovery, improve clinical trial design, and uncover population-specific insights that drive more inclusive precision medicine.
