Course Overview
This Hackathon aims to develop two H3ABioNet Databases and Resources Work Package Portals: African Precision Medicine Portal (APMP) - a web based portal to collate and curate pharmacogenomics and other genomic medicine metadata specific to African populations, as well as links to existing precision medicine implementation tools and resources in order to support precision medicine initiatives within Africa. African Microbiome Portal (AMP) - a web based portal to collate, curate and provide primary references for African specific microbiome metadata and resources for African based microbiome research. The hackathon participants will be divided into three streams: Stream A for the African Precision Medicine web portal development, Stream B for the African Microbiome web portal development and Stream C for testing the portals. An additional team for writing and drafting a manuscript about the hackathon will also be formed. Stream A and B will consist of technical programming members as well as portal content experts. Stream C consists local undergraduate students who should be recruited from IPT for testing the two portals. The Hackathon will consist of a series of introduction and background talks to the objectives of both portals during the first day and portals design and development breakout group sessions during 2nd- 5th days of the hackathon.
