Beneficial Bio’s Post

#EMM2024 #Ethiopia has officially wrapped up at Bio and Emerging Technology Institute - BETin! 🎉 The #StrigaSmartSorghum for #Africa project brought together two incredible weeks of hands-on #biomanufacturing training: 🧬Week 1 – Participants achieved 100% efficient PCRs with miniPCR bio (again!), mastered DNA visualisation and assembly, and induced #protein expression. The Enzyme Manufacturing Masterclass culminated in the in-house production of DNA Polymerase 🥳, thanks to Open Bioeconomy Lab and USAID! ✂️Week 2 – With the support of the Grow More Foundation, the Advanced EMM had participants delve into #CRISPR technology and #protein purification. The sessions were filled with excellent brainstorming and discussions, leading to the successful cloning of guide RNAs! And guess which enzyme we used to perform our colony PCRs… 🤩 Additionally, we enjoyed a fantastic social day out at #Entoto Natural Park, and were warmly welcomed at #Kuriftu Restaurant, despite the rain.  🍽️🌧️😊 These two weeks were an unforgettable experience for all, filled with learning, bonding, and great moments. Thank you to all enthusiastic participants and incredible trainers for making this workshop a huge success. 🌟🥼🧬 Special thanks to BETin, and also to ISAAA Africenter, Kenyatta University and Addis Ababa University.

#EMM2024, Round 2! 🤩 This time, the Enzyme Manufacturing Masterclass is hosted by Bio and Emerging Technology Institute - BETin, bringing 25 eager participants from around Ethiopia to dive deep into #DNAassembly, #protein expression, #opensource reagents and #biomanufacturing! Exciting times ahead 🥼🧬 #StrigaSmartSorghum ISAAA Africenter Addis Ababa University (AAU) Margaret Karembu Kassahun Tesfaye Teklehaimanot Haileselassie yordanos ali Onesmus Mwaura Keyru Tukki Nuhamin Kasu Eyosiyas Hailu
