And it’s a wrap! 🎉 100% PCR success rates, colonies on our plates, and clear protein visualisation = many smiles! 😄 Thanks to all the amazing partners, talented teachers and enthusiastic participants who made #EMM2024 a success! 👏 #biotech #research #bioanufacturing #synbio
Beneficial Bio is excited to be back at @KenyattaUni for EMM2024, the 2nd Enzyme Manufacturing Masterclass! 🥼🧬 Nearly 30 participants are levelling up their hands-on experience in #DNAassembly, #protein expression, #opensource reagents & #biomanufacturing - stay tuned!
Grateful to meet the #enzymatic tools specialists ✨ at @Kurabiotech in #Chile! Kavi engaged with CEO @Ed_Wallach, R&D team headed by Isa Marx, and more! Thanks everyone for the hospitality - such an insightful visit! 🥼 #biotech #biomanufacturing #latam
African farmers are set to benefit from genome editing tech with #StrigaSmartSorghum!🌾 Hear directly from the partners on how this groundbreaking project will revolutionise farming, foster #innovation and enhance local research capabilities #AfriBIOHub 🌱 youtube.com/watch?utm_campai…
Kavi continued through Buenos Aires, on the forefront of #research and #innovation in #biotech! Local protein and enzyme #biomanufacturing at Dr Javier Santos's @ CPPR at @Exactas_UBA 🧬 and exploring yeast glycobiology🧫 with Dr @CeciDAlessio and her talented team at @ib3enfcen
🌍 Last month in Kenya with the minds behind the #StrigaSmartSorghum project! Between strategy sessions and visiting the future centre of excellence for #bioscience innovation (#AfriBIOHub), the mission advances to make a difference in #Africa 's agricultural landscape🌱🌾
In Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Kavi visited Bio-Manguinhos / Fiocruz, leading the #biomanufacturing of vaccines 💉, in vitro diagnostic kits 🔬 and biopharmaceuticals 🧪. Amazing facilities and staff - thank you Anna Erika and Iaralice Medeiros!
Next stop for Kavi: Universidade de São Paulo @usponline, Brazil. Great opportunity to talk to Dr Lucio Freitas Junior, leading Neglected Diseases #Drug #Discovery at USP, and CEO of SociaLab 🧪🧫 for #reagent and cell #sharing!
Our intern Kavi is currently on tour through LATAM! Fantastic time visiting our host Robson Tramontina and colleagues at NexVitro Biologics (Campinas, Brazil), doing local enzyme and reagent production for #research and #diagnostics. 🥼🧬
Cheery smiles yesterday while exploring storage and delivery solutions at @JSSLabLogistics! Thanks to all the team for your fantastic hospitality! 🎄 ✨
Thank you Kenyan scientists for accepting our invitation to discuss cutting-edge approaches to sustainable biomanufacturing and the potential for bioinnovation and business in Kenya - our seminar at @ihitkenya was a success and we learned a lot! #synbio #research #sustainability
At the end of Aug, the Benbio team was at @ABBCSymposium in Nairobi 🇰🇪! Lots of networking and important lessons on #scicomm, #GM and #biotech 🔬🧬 for sustainable agriculture in East Africa. Even had a Sorghum-based Festival! Cheers🍻@afri_isaaa #ABBC2023 #StrigaSmartSorghum
"Informative, helpful, easy to understand, fun!" 🙌 thank you @afri_isaaa @karumba_ for the video showcasing our Enzyme Manufacturing Masterclass #EMM2023 at @KenyattaUni, with great feedback from the participants! #StrigaSmartSorghum #synbio #opensource
