Description

The ACRN Podcast is your gateway to Africa-led conversations on clinical research, health innovation, and policy. Hosted by the Africa Clinical Research Network, this series brings together researchers, clinicians, regulators, policymakers, and industry leaders from across the continent to explore how Africa is shaping—and must continue to shape—the future of global clinical research.


Each episode features expert insights from African physician-scientists and innovators, discussions on emerging health technologies, policy dialogues influencing Africa’s research ecosystem, and stories that center African leadership in global health. Our goal is to spotlight credible, African-led voices at the intersection of science, policy, and industry, and to advance collaborative, community-driven research.


Whether you’re a policymaker, regulator, researcher, funder, or anyone passionate about Africa’s role in global health, this podcast is for you. Expect honest conversations, nuanced perspectives, and a commitment to challenging assumptions—including our own.


Stay tuned for our official launch and join us as we elevate Africa’s voice in clinical research!
