Help celebrate Mandela Day by joining PHA4GE in our ‘Youth 4 Science’ initiative.
We hope to inspire young minds into the possibilities of careers in science and technology over a hot meal. With your support, we can make hope a reality for the next generation of scientists. 💫
Mandela Day, observed on July 18th, honors Nelson Mandela's life and legacy. Inspired by his 67 years of selfless service, people worldwide are encouraged to dedicate 67 minutes to community service.
In celebration of Mandela Day, PHA4GE, partnering with Mother City Kitchen, is launching the 'Youth 4 Science' initiative. This program aims to inspire young minds by sharing career pathways in science and public health.
With your support, we can nurture the potential of these young individuals, guiding them towards a future filled with hope and innovation. Join PHA4GE in empowering the next generation to become the architects of a brighter tomorrow.

PHA4GE with Dr. Alan Christoffels - Part I
In the first part, he shares his background as a scientist and director of a program leading international collaborations in pathogen genomics.
Beyond its role in heredity, #DNAday holds immense potential for scientific and medical advancements. The field of genomics, which focuses on studying an organism's entire DNA sequence, has revolutionized our understanding of genetics and disease. 🧬
Malaria is a major public health concern, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), there were an estimated 229 million cases of malaria worldwide in 2019.
Advancements in genomic epidemiology offer promising avenues for enhancing malaria surveillance, understanding transmission dynamics, and guiding targeted interventions. Together, with malaria control programs and other stakeholders, we can end malaria.
