ScriptRN
 

Building Africa's medical & biological research environment.

ScriptRN Global trains researchers and clinicians, equips institutions with modern research technology, and partners across Africa to build the infrastructure — from RNA science to lab tools — that African research needs to compete globally.

Vision

The organization building the pillars that advance medical and biological research across Africa.

Mission

Build Africa's research capacity through training, technological advancement, partnerships, and scientific discovery.

How we work

Four pillars, spliced into one mission.

EXON 01

Training

A free, invitation-only journal club and paid certificate courses spanning RNA science, genomics, and modern biomedical research methods.

EXON 02

Technological Advancement

Equipping African labs, hospitals, and universities with the computing infrastructure and research tools modern science requires.

EXON 03

Research Partnerships

Working with institutions across Africa to integrate modern research methods into their grants — through collaboration or hands-on training.

EXON 04

In-House Research

ScriptRN Global pursuing its own grants and original research, in step with pharma, biotech, and nonprofit partners.

Four exons. One transcript.

Every pillar feeds the next — training builds the community, technology gives it the tools, partnerships put both to work, and the results strengthen ScriptRN Global's own research.

Research partnerships, two tracks

Where your institution fits

Already have research capacity

Collaboration

Joint projects, invitations to present at the journal club, and direct connections to international researchers working in your area.

Building research capacity

Service

Hands-on training, technology support, and grant-writing help to build modern research methods into your work, from the ground up.

Join the Journal Club

Free, invitation-only. A tight, engaged community of ~20–40 members.

Home / Journal Club

The journal club, by design.

Free, invitation-only, and deliberately small — built to stay a tight, engaged community rather than a mailing list.

What to expect

Apply to join

We review every application. The first cohort opens at roughly 20 members and is capped at 30–40 over time — members who miss two consecutive sessions make room for new applicants.

  • ● Free to join, invitation-only
  • ● Monthly sessions, mixed virtual and in-person
  • ● Members present their own work and hear from visiting researchers
  • ● A direct line into ScriptRN Global's training and research partnerships

We'll follow up by email once applications are reviewed.

Application received

Thanks for applying to the ScriptRN Global journal club. We review applications on a rolling basis and will email you with next steps.

Home / Training

Request training for your team.

From a single introductory session to a full certificate course — spanning RNA science, genomics, bioinformatics, and modern lab technology.

Formats

What we offer

Training is a mix of free community sessions and paid certificate-based courses, delivered to fit your department's schedule.

  • ● RNA science and transcriptomics, from fundamentals to advanced methods
  • ● Genomics, gene expression, and biomedical data analysis
  • ● Hands-on bioinformatics: databases, tools, and modern research technology
  • ● Custom sessions scoped to your department's current work

We typically respond within a few business days.
✓

Request sent

Thanks — we've received your training request and will be in touch to scope the right format for your team.

Home / Projects

Bring us your research project.

Tell us about your work — whether you need a research collaborator, technology and infrastructure support, or help building modern methods into a grant from scratch.

What happens next

Project intake

We review submissions against both tracks — collaboration for institutions that already have research capacity, and hands-on service for those building it for the first time.

  • ● A short call to understand your project's goals
  • ● Scoping how research methods or technology fit in
  • ● Support building the methods into a grant, where relevant
  • ● Clear terms before any work begins

A team member will follow up to schedule a scoping call.

Project received

Thanks for sharing your project. We'll review it and reach out to schedule a scoping call.
