Across Africa, the healthcare and laboratory ecosystem continues to face significant challenges, including limited access to advanced diagnostic infrastructure, long sample turnaround times, and dependence on foreign laboratories for complex testing and clinical research support. These gaps often slow down medical innovation, delay patient care, and hinder the continent’s ability to fully contribute to global health advancements.

We are excited to introduce Xcene Laboratories and Diagnostics (XLD), delivering excellence in quality research and diagnostics across Africa.

At XLD we’re bridging global standards with local expertise, offering reliable, high-quality diagnostic and research solutions that empower better healthcare outcomes across the continent.

Speaker Highlight: 2025 Principal Investigators Stakeholders Meeting

At this year’s Principal Investigators Stakeholders Meeting, Professor Bosede Afolabi, one of our distinguished panelists, shared an insightful perspective on the question:

“As a Principal Investigator, how have you navigated GCP requirements and operational constraints in conducting trials within the African healthcare setting?”

Prof. Bosede emphasized the critical role of Good Clinical Practice (GCP) in ensuring the quality and integrity of clinical trials. She also discussed practical strategies her team employs to stay aligned with global standards, despite the unique challenges of conducting research in Africa.

Watch the highlight below and join the conversation:

How can Africa best balance these approaches to accelerate progress in Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) management?

At ASCAT 2025, Xcene Research was honoured to share its journey in advancing sickle cell disease (SCD) clinical trials across Sub-Saharan Africa.

Our Chief Executive Officer, Adebukunola Telufusi, represented by Uchechukwu Nwaoha, a Senior Clinical Trial Associate at Xcene Research, presented on the theme:
Conducting SCD Trials in Sub-Saharan Africa: Milestones, Insights, and Xcene Research's Impact.

With a decade of experience conducting SCD trials in 5 Sub-Saharan African countries alongside global sponsors, we have learned that the true success of a clinical trial extends beyond recruitment and retention.

Our experience has led to important insights such as:
- The value of strengthening industry trial experience at sites
- The role of infrastructure and accredited laboratories in trial quality
- How regulatory pathways and sample logistics shape trial timelines
- The importance of comprehensive patient support systems
- The need for sponsors to adapt protocols to African healthcare realities and nuances

These continue to guide us as we work to bridge gaps, enhance capacity, and deliver impactful research outcomes for communities across Africa.

02/10/2025

The mission of ASCAT 2025 is to fundamentally improve the lives of those living with Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) & Thalassemia, with a crucial focus on enhancing healthcare accessibility in Sub-Saharan Africa.

This goal resonates deeply with us at Xcene Research. We are committed to applying our deep expertise and full organizational capabilities to tackle major unresolved global health challenges.

We believe progress is accelerated through collaboration. Let's connect at the conference to discuss how strategic partnerships can drive meaningful change in SCD , research, and diagnostics.
