Mission
BioStruct-Africa is a non-profit organization whose mission is to bridge a technology gap through knowledge transfer and mentoring of Africa-based researchers using cutting-edge techniques in Structural Biology.
​
BioStruct-Africa achieves this by organizing workshops onsite at our partner universities and institutions based in Africa, followed by post-hoc online mentoring of participants to ensure sustainable capacity building.
​
The vision of BioStruct-Africa is to form a consortium of Africa-based structural biologists working on prevalent diseases on the continent while supporting the vision and roadmap towards building the first African Light Source
