Objective

DELGEME aims to develop advanced technical and analytical skills of African scientists in relevant areas of Bio-informatics, next generation sequence analysis, population genetics, epidemiology, statistical and cellular and molecular biology in collaboration with local and international partners for malaria control and elimination in sub-Saharan Africa.

The main aims of the programme are:

• To train, retain and develop Graduates, Doctoral and Post-doctoral fellows on genomics and bioinformatics across malaria endemic countries.
• To Develop programmes to enhance the understanding and dissemination of genetic data relevant to malaria interventions and eradication program.
• Short-term training will be delivered for various trainees including public health officers on genetics, clinical studies, ethics, grant writing, grant management, leadership development etc.
• Formal long-term curricula (big data science, biostatistics, health informatics, genomics, cell biology, molecular biology and bioinformatics) will be designed and implemented with contribution and oversight from a wide range of local and International Faculty and relevant advisory boards.
