Global Public Health,  Genomic Medicine, and Health Equity

Although ISEE is interested in assessing evidence-based interventions and implementing interventions to improve health outcomes for global populations, we also have an interest in promoting groundbreaking genomic and epidemiological research that elucidate disease and disorders in understudied populations. Dr. Peprah has been cited in some notable publications highlighting the significant perspective that broad representation of populations is needed in genetic studies. With inclusion of diverse populations, we can better understand the molecular and genetic mechanism that underlie disease. This knowledge is essential to develop EBI that can address disease management and control. Dr. Peprah has championed a public health and genomics medicine approach a in a few notable articles that have been published in the lay media.

Global Public Health and Genomic Medicine

• Genetics has learned a ton —mostly about white people. That’s a problem.

• The true cost of white-washed research

• The special report in full: Future of Healthcare

Global Public Health and Health Equity 

• Genome-wide association studies in Africans and African Americans: expanding the framework of the genomics of human traits and disease.

• Advancing stroke genomic research in the age of Trans-Omics big data science: Emerging priorities and opportunities.

• Foreword: Big Data and Its Application in Health Disparities Research.

• The Importance of Conducting Stroke Genomics Research in African Ancestry Populations.

• Big Data Science: Opportunities and Challenges to Address Minority Health and Health Disparities in the 21st Century.

• A New Age for African-Driven Genomics Research: Human Heredity and Health in Africa (H3Africa).
