Computational Neuroscience Workshop organized by BioRTC– truly inspiring to witness this pioneer initiative in Nigeria, equipping us with advanced tools to model and understand the brain. @BioRTC2025 @BioRTCNig @Simonsfoundation @YobeStateGovt @yobestateuni
As part of the Dementia Project funded by @wellcometrust, BioRTC hosted a biopsy collection workshop with Yobe State Univ. Teaching Hospital. Goal: unify procedures across partner institutions for high-quality dementia research.




Day 13 of the BioRTC summer school, Computational Neuroscience Workshop. Today, we had a talk about the inception of @BioRTCNig and the process @mahmoudbukar went through to make the center a success. We visited the lab and worked on our projects. @SimonsFdn @YobeStateGovt
Day 12 of the BioRTC summer school, Computational Neuroscience Workshop. Today, we learned about automation in trained datasets, linear mixed models, had time with our projects. We then had talks on science communication and a career in software development @BioRTCNig @SimonsFdn
The Director of BioRTC @mahmoudbukar and the faculties Witnessing project presentation they supervised 😌 Thanks to @BioRTCNig @SimonsFdn @mahmoudbukar @YobeStateGovt @yobestateuni for the opportunity.
It has been am amazing two-week experience UP NORTH; I learned new things, saw new paces, and above all gained an amazing new family. @BioRTCNig @SimonsFdn @YobeStateGovt #BioRTC2025
Yobe State Governor Hon. (Dr.) Mai Mala Buni CON, COMN has assured the continuous support of Yobe state government to the Biomedical Research and Training Center in the search for solution to the rampant cases of kidney disease in some parts of the state. @mahmoudbukar
