LabCoP Extended ECHO session: Expanding genomic sequencing capacity in Africa
ASLM is hosting a series of webinars to support the expansion of genomic sequencing for the rapid detection of drug-resistant TB. This series aims to foster collaboration among countries, share knowledge and best practices, and support evidence-based decision-making for investments in TB genomic sequencing.
Date: 17 April 2025
Time: 4:00 – 5:00 pm EAT
Location: Online
Speaker: Francis Chikuse, Senior Technical Officer, Public Health Policy, Africa CDC-Africa PGI
This is the first session in this series, which will provide a continental overview of genomic capacity and explore how this can be leveraged to detect drug-resistant TB. The session will explore regional frameworks for genomic surveillance, highlight existing sequencing infrastructure, and share strategies for multi-disease sequencing programs.
