Basic biomedical laboratory sciences provides the scientific foundation of clinical practice and supports the use of novel scientific discoveries to justify clinical decision making . However, there remains widespread disconnect between clinicians and basic medical scientists [18–21]. Granted the importance of the art of medicine and clinical practice , there is a significant necessity to embrace evidence based science in the era of precision medicine. This point was alluded to over a century ago by the Flexner Report of 1910 , which was employed to transform the medical education model in America by establishing integrated biomedical training systems as the gold standard. A shortage of needed infrastructure and manpower has fixated a significant proportion of medical research efforts in Africa on bedside practice; albeit medical practice from ancient Egyptian papyri has been documented for various aliment as early as around 2000 B.C [24–28]. Indeed, evidence of various primary and metastatic cancers has been found by paleopathological and archeological examination of Egyptian mummies [29–34]. Despite the antiquity of medical practice in Africa relative to other regions of the world, there still exists a paucity of application of novel omics-based approaches to routine diagnostic medical sciences.
