Africa's genetic story has been underrepresented in global research. But this is a risk for not only Africans but the world.
Because Africa has the most diverse genetic heritage on Earth, the very blueprint of humanity itself!

Meet Henrietta Lacks the woman whose cells changed medicine forever.

In 1951, doctors took her cells without her knowledge or consent.
Those cells now known as HeLa became the cornerstone of modern medicine.

They helped develop the polio vaccine, advanced cancer treatments,
and unlocked the secrets of genetics and viruses.

But while the world benefited,
Her family and community were left in the shadows.

As genomic research expands across Africa, her legacy challenges us to ask the right questions about representation and inclusion.

Communities that contribute to science should benefit from it, and ethics should guide innovation not follow it. Otherwise, we risk repeating the same patterns of extraction, exclusion, and exploitation.

According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), nearly one in three West Africans carries a variant of the APOL1 gene. This same gene once helped protect against sleeping sickness but is now linked to a higher risk of chronic kidney disease.

It’s a powerful reminder that our DNA carries both history and health. The same gene that helped our ancestors survive can shape how we experience disease today.

This is why genetic testing matters. Knowing your genetic risks means you can take steps early through screening, lifestyle changes, or medical care to protect your health.

And it’s also why representation in genomics research is so important. When African DNA is missing from global studies, the science is incomplete, and so are the solutions.

True progress in genetics means making sure Africa’s stories, data, and discoveries are part of the picture. Because genomic inclusion is not just about science it’s also about justice.
