CISM Workshop: Genomic Surveillance-Promoting equitable technical environments
Centro de invastigação em saúde de manhiça (CISM) is holding a free workshop on Genomic surveillance – Promoting equitable technical environments.
Genomic technologies are driving some of the most ground-breaking research happening today. Yet the benefits of these tools will not be fully realized unless they are deployed worldwide (spirit of global solidarity). Attention to equity in deploying these technologies is essential for achieving the immense potential benefits to human health.
Date: February 21, 2023
