Structural biology is essential for understanding diseases and for developing drugs and vaccines. Africa has few specialists in structural biology owing to limited infrastructure, training and mentorship opportunities. Non-profit organizations such as BioStruct-Africa provide training and support to build capacity. E.N. received a 2024 Google Award for a socially impactful project enabled by AlphaFold and Google DeepMind sponsorship in 2025 to support the BioStruct-Africa structural-biology training event (series 6).
