What a coincidence! On the #worldmilkday I submitted the DNAs for #pseudopithomyceschartarum to inqaba biotec This will be the first genome for this fungus which causes a big problem in the milk industry in South Africa. 🥛🐄🧫🧬 FABI UP Faculty of Natural and Agricultural Sciences PacBio

Together with the Central Science Laboratory, University of Nigeria, we will be hosting a 5-day hands-on training in molecular biology techniques and their applications, from the 26th to 30th July 2022. Please see the flyer for registration details.

Last week, we were at the prestigious University of Nigeria, Nsukka, University of Nigeria nsukka, where the Central Science Laboratory, headed by Prof. Ifeoma M. Ezeonu, treated 23 participants, students and faculty to a week of our #molecularbiology training.  #Genomics #lifesciences #capacitybuilding

At inqaba biotec, we believe in collaborations. We value partnerships that spread awareness of the life sciences and increase accessibility to the technologies required to make advances both in the field and laboratory research in Africa. #Genomics #LifeSciences

It's time for the inqaba biotec/African Biogenome Project Genome Challenge 2022

Congratulations Prof. This is a really very exciting thing. In so many ways, this helps to propagate the skills and techniques that are required to build great healthcare systems and sustainable agrifood systems as well.

The 'Hands-on Training in Molecular Biology and Applications', a learning partnership between us and the Central Science Laboratory, University of Nigeria Nsukka University of Nigeria nsukka is scheduled to hold from 8 to 12 November, 2022.  #Genomics #MolecularBiology #LifeSciences
