Project Description
For this research training program, the University of Cape Town will partner with Oregon Health & Science University to provide interdisciplinary training opportunities to develop the next generation of researchers working on aspects of fundamental data science, computational omics, and imaging data science. The training program will place strong emphasis on training graduate students and faculty from participating African institutions, through a combination of in-person and online teaching, research projects, and internships to foster biomedical data science research that will build critical capacity in data science and drive the development of innovative solutions to African health challenges.
