IBRO-ARC Neuroscience School on Functional Genomics and Neurological Disease in Africa
This IBRO-ARC School aims to provide a critical understanding of functional genomics in neurological disease endemic in Africa. Functional genomics and neurological disease in Africa will be featured in a series of training sessions and mentoring activities tailored around the most prevalent neurological diseases on the African continent. Select disease entities and/or conditions of the nervous system will be used as a model to elucidate the critical aspects of genomics, neurobiology, and neuropathology underlying their pathogenesis. Special emphasis will be…
