You’re all invited to our Community Meeting next week, on 2024-02-21T14:00:00Z. We will hear from Kingstone Nihaka, presenting about “Plasmigene’s Journey: Pioneering Progress in Biotech Manufacturing and Shaping the Future of Molecular Biology Research in Southern Africa and Beyond”.
As you probably noticed, we are moving our Reclone Community Meetings to the 3rd Wednesday of every month, always at 14:00 UTC - 15:00 UTC (make sure to check for Daylight Savings starting soon!). Feel free to invite and share news to others in your networks who might be interested
We hope you are excited for our Community Meeting tomorrow (2024-02-21T14:00:00Z)!
Join us as we hear from Kingstone Nihaka about “Plasmigene’s Journey: Pioneering Progress in Biotech Manufacturing and Shaping the Future of Molecular Biology Research in Southern Africa and Beyond”.
Last week, we hosted an inspiring Community Call with @Kingstone . He shared about “Plasmigene’s Journey: Pioneering Progress in Biotech Manufacturing and Shaping the Future of Molecular Biology Research in Southern Africa and Beyond”
Here are some highlights of their work:
Like many scientists and researchers in Africa, Kingstone and his team faced many challenges in sourcing enzymes and reagents, due to the reliance on imports
Their journey started with PlasmidHub, initially focusing on plasmids, and evolved into Plasmigene, a comprehensive platform storing and distributing a wide array of molecular biology reagents
They are currently expanding their biomanufacturing work with support from Beneficial Bio, and joining forces with Reclone.org to redistribute our Open DNA Collections (ODC)
