Training programmes facilitated

I'm Justice Ohene Amofa, a Genomics Research Assistant and Bioinformatician at the Noguchi Memorial Institute for Medical Research (NMIMR), University of Ghana. My background brings together computer science, health science, computational biology, and biotechnology to support infectious disease research and genomic surveillance.

I work across the laboratory and computational sides of genomics: DNA/RNA extraction, sequencing library preparation, whole-genome and amplicon analysis, and reproducible bioinformatics workflows. My research spans cholera, tuberculosis, Klebsiella, antimicrobial resistance, and viral pathogens, alongside protein modelling and molecular docking for drug discovery and vaccine target identification.

At PHA4GE, I serve as Training Coordinator and Co-Lead Bioinformatics Author for the Cholera Guidance Document Driver Project. I also support postgraduate One Health teaching, facilitate genomics training across Africa, coordinate the Cholera Genomics Data Analysis Working Group, and contribute to the community as a Nextflow Ambassador.

My goal is to connect research and programming with practical public health solutions, with a particular interest in vaccine research and biomanufacturing.
