Build African Research Capacity!

"There are more African scientists and engineers in the USA than in the entire continent."

Ainalem Tebeje, IDRC Brain Drain and Capacity Building in Africa, 2005

Build African ResearchCapacity! is an international network of young scientists supporting the advancement of basic biomedical science in Africa and its developing diaspora. Biomedical science is a powerful tool for solving health challenges that cause significant morbidity and mortality in developing African regions. Moreover, innovations in medicine and diagnostics originating from biomedical science discovery can increase competitiveness in the modern global economy. The expansion of basic biomedical research capacity, therefore, is vital for Africa's development in multiple respects.
