The Association of Clinical Research Professionals (ACRP) recently featured the Africa Clinical Research Network (ACRN) in a Q&A with our Chief Executive Officer, Dr Tariro Makadzange.
In the conversation, Dr Makadzange reflects on ACRN’s founding mission, our approach to building sustainable, African-led clinical research capacity, and the importance of investing in professional development across the network. She also discusses the opportunities ahead for researchers and partners seeking to collaborate in clinical research across the continent.
The feature offers a concise look at the work ACRN is doing to address longstanding inequities in global trial participation and to build an integrated ecosystem of research sites, laboratories, and trained professionals.
