About the Webinar

The transition from the classroom to a high-stakes clinical or research laboratory is one of the most pivotal moments in a scientist’s career. In the African context, this journey comes with a unique set of opportunities—from pioneering point-of-care testing to managing resource-limited environments with ingenuity.

This webinar is designed specifically for early-career laboratory scientists, recent graduates, and senior students across the continent. We’ll move beyond the textbooks to discuss the “soft” and “hard” skills required to thrive in modern African diagnostics and research.
