Thank you @WACCBIP_UG for the opportunity to share our contribution to efforts to stimulate local manufacturing of reagents for nucleic acid testing. Thanks to funding from @gatesfoundation through the #Expandia project, @ICGEB_BG at @ICGEB, Trieste, Italy.

Dr. Reuben Ayivor-Djanie shares plenary on building low-cost, locally adaptable molecular diagnostics for Africa. His team developed a frugal method to produce and stabilize enzymes for RT-LAMP tests — keeping them functional in regular fridges and enabling shipping across the…

The greater the vision, the more the sidetracks.... the bigger the opportunity, the larger the trap....and we fall into the trap not because we do not know the enemy but also because whilst focusing on the enemy, we forget that to succeed, the enemy often uses our friends. Yea

Data on the percentage of budget spent on R&D reveal that countries that spend very little on research are the same countries with high external debt.... My interpretation of this is pretty basic....those who do not implement new ideas will borrow to survive on archaic ideas. Yea

Our long awaited paper linking #COVID19 #severity to #Malaria is out in @CellReports. Great science and read if I say so myself. #waccbipis10 @WACCBIP_UG @gordon_awandare @YawBediako_ @KesegoTapela @AniwehYaw @WilliamKwampofo @AGYEMANGSETH14 @joemutungi cell.com/cell-reports/f…

Fantastic facility they have at the @scifablab, ICTP, Trieste. Thanks @jenny_molloy for the opportunity to tag along. Yes, it amazing how cheap these printer have become. I am sure ICGEB, Trieste @ICGEB will take advantage of @IcgebB’s prusa.

After what, if I say so myself, was an ingenious solution from @Birhanaddisie & @radjanie2 to me leaving the filament reel holder in Cambridge, we are up and running with #3dprinting @ICGEB. First up: a custom tube rack and a mini DNA helicase 🧬
