About us
The Psychiatric Genomics Africa Portal (PsychGenAfrica) is a pioneering initiative from the PGC Africa working group, designed to serve as a centralised platform for psychiatric genomics research focused on the African population. By establishing a unified metadata repository, PsychGenAfrica enables researchers, healthcare professionals, and the public to access vital information and explore groundbreaking research in neuropsychiatric disorders across Africa.
Mission Statement
PsychGenAfrica aims to democratise access to psychiatric genomics data by providing free, open, and curated metadata from studies involving African participants or research conducted within the continent. The platform seeks to facilitate realtime analysis, promote collaborative research, and highlight significant trends and findings in the field of psychiatric genomics in Africa.
Specific Objectives
- Provide open and equitable access to African psychiatric genomics metadata
- Offer an intuitive platform for real-time research analysis and data visualization
- Support researchers in sharing and disseminating new findings
- Centralise events, publications, and news in the African psychiatric genomics field
Vision Statement
Through PsychGenAfrica, we envision a future where African psychiatric genomics research is fully integrated into the global research landscape, fostering collaboration and enhancing the quality and impact of studies on neuropsychiatric disorders. The portal aims to bridge gaps in data access and support equitable advancements in psychiatric research across the continent.
