Thrilled to acknowledge the first WIA COMPASS workshop, bringing the mission of Women in Autophagy (Mentoring Committee) into focus on a topic close to our hearts: developing impactful research questions with relevance to Africa.

A heartfelt thank you to our panelists Yihael Powrie, Charles Narh, Gabriel Akunna, and Magdalena Ameka for sharing their expertise and guidance — your insights made this session truly enriching.

We also extend our gratitude to the @WIA COMPASS committee for initiating this mission in Africa, and a special thanks to our chairs and co-chairs of the day, @Naomi Okugbeni, @Claudia Ntsapi, and @Okwute Mikel, for making the workshop seamless and inspiring.

Excited for the next steps as we continue to foster mentorship, collaboration, and locally driven research initiatives across the continent!
