My collaborators in Cameroon are interested in potentially using Oxford Nanopore to start doing genetics. The department does not currently do any DNA lab work, and the budget is very limited. Any tips/funding opportunities/training you know of?

Thrilled to be starting as a Lecturer at University of Bristol in Jan 2024 and to build a new group. Our lab will explore social evolution, conflict, and cooperation - focusing on the amazing social wasps of Africa. Will be posting PhD/Masters opportunities (patrickckennedy.com)
