About AfricOmics

Building precision oncology capacity across Africa, one team at a time

Our Story

Closing the Gap in African Precision Oncology

At AfricOmics Solutions, we are building the future of cancer care in Africa on African data, and we're doing it with African expertise at the center.

Our work grew out of years spent in cancer genomics across Africa and the wider region, where we have helped shape multi-site collaborations, build local capacity, and push African samples and insights into global conversations that have too often excluded them. We have worked alongside clinicians, biobanks, and international partners to move genomics from "interesting science" to something that can actually work in African hospitals, with African constraints, and for African patients.

The Challenge We Address

We saw a critical disconnect: precision oncology is accelerating globally, but the systems that make it usable are still missing in many African settings. The promise gets stalled by three blockers:

(1) Literacy Gaps

Genomics is still treated as a niche skill, which leaves many clinicians, nurses, and scientists unsure how to order tests, explain results, or use reports to support decisions.

(2) Fragmented Systems

Even when testing exists, workflows break across the chain—from consent to sample handling, QC, reporting, and clinical follow-through. Almost all results arrive without African context, making them sometimes as bad as no result and resulting in misdiagnosis.

(3) Data Inequity

African populations remain underrepresented in the reference datasets used to call variants, classify risk, and guide therapy. That underrepresentation quietly shapes care, and it can distort decisions in the very populations that need precision the most.

Our Mission

AfricOmics Solutions exists to close these gaps with practical, systems-level solutions that work in real African settings. We don't just teach concepts—we build the infrastructure for action.

Through the AfricOmics Academy, we train oncology nurses, clinicians, and lab scientists to translate genomics into clinical confidence. Our approach is grounded in what we have learned from building, doing, and supporting cancer genomics programs, research pipelines, and sample-to-insight workflows across multiple sites.

Beyond Training: End-to-End Implementation

We help teams implement end-to-end precision oncology workflows, including:

SOPs for Complete Workflow

Consent, sampling, processing, and shipment protocols

QC & Data Harmonization

Reduces avoidable failure and ensures quality

Afro-Centric Reporting

Evidence-based and clinically usable for African populations

Multi-Site Collaboration

Support for sustainable program setup and scaling

Empowering the Ecosystem

We serve the oncology value chain: hospitals, diagnostic labs, research groups, and pharma partners. By helping teams structure their data and interpret results through an African lens, we make it possible to scale genomics safely and consistently across the continent.

"We are more than a consultancy. We are building a repeatable system that helps African institutions deliver precision oncology that fits African patients, and produces African data that the world can no longer ignore."
