The African Kinship Reunion Repository is made up of a diverse team of dedicated researchers, experts, and community representatives. They are responsible for using advanced genetic genealogical methods to reconnect participants with their African relatives. Through these connections, TAKiR aims to help participants deepen their ties to their ancestral roots. The team members play an essential role in ensuring the success of the repository's objectives, bringing unique skills and perspectives to build a comprehensive data repository that fosters personal connections and cultural restoration. From bioinformatics experts to outreach coordinators, our team is united by a shared goal: to provide individuals and families with the tools to rediscover and honor their ancestral histories, while contributing to the broader scientific understanding of the African diaspora. Through our collaborative efforts, we aim to bridge the gap between the past and the present. Join us in learning more about the dedicated individuals making this transformative project possible.
