Martin Maiden kicking off the 11th Molecular Approaches for Clinical Microbiology in Africa (MACMA) Wellcome Connecting Science hosted by Wellcome Connecting Science Learning and Training Kenya Medical Research Institute Maiden Lab #microbioKenya23

Such a great pleasure to be back in Kenya for the Wellcome Connecting Science Advance Course Molecular Approaches to Clinical Microbiology in Africa

Our #MicrobioKenya23 course has come to an end, marking the start of a vibrant new community. I’m sure I’ll hear amazing things from these guys & I look forward to our future meetings. Gratitude to my newfound Nigerian friend Kemiki olalekan for the exquisite fila.

Not saying Maiden Lab & Keith Jolley are old, but their partnership is an ancient treasure! 📜From our first course in 2009 in Malawi to the 2023 edition in Nairobi, they're still shaping the microbiology world! #MicrobioKenya23 #microbiology

We’re encouraging all students heading to uni this autumn to make sure they’re up to date with all free routine NHS vaccinations via the NHS app and catch up with any they’ve missed, like the #MenACWY vaccine. More info: gov.uk/government/new…
