DDD-Africa: Advancing discovery for developmental disorders - expanded analysis of the DDD-Africa resource (Administrator)
With a background in Molecular and Cell Biology, I transitioned into research administration and currently hold the position of Research Administrator for the Deciphering Developmental Disorders in Africa (DDD-Africa) project at the University of the Witwatersrand. The project aims to improve healthcare services and diagnosis for patients with developmental disorders and their families in Africa. In my role, I am responsible for research, grant, and financial administration, procurement, and general project operations.
