@DuncanAbigaba At last someone is asking the right questions..The most crucial part of this conversation has always been the third offset. Does not renewing a travel document imply automatic nullification of citizenship, later alone an attempt to renounce it using a different country's entity?

What does it take to turn genomic data into real-world public health action?
@GeraldGmboowa has spent his career answering that question. As a Senior Data Engineer at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, his work spans whole-genome sequencing, bioinformatics pipelines, and genomic surveillance across Africa, with a particular focus on antimicrobial resistance and pathogen transmission in low-resource settings.

At #VEME 2024, he brought that expertise into the classroom, leading hands-on training in next-generation sequencing analysis and showing participants how to move from raw data to actionable public health insight.
The skills built in that room do not stay there. Collaborations form, networks grow, and the science keeps moving.
