Last week, KRISP hosted the Ensembl Workshop as part of the @diplomics_sa series. 🚀 A big thank you to the facilitators for such an engaging & empowering session on #bioinformatics, #datamanagement & #genomics! #research #capacitybuilding

Great to host a delegation from @SMU_SA at KRISP yesterday! They toured our genomics lab as part of a benchmarking visit & explored possible areas of collaboration. Excited to strengthen genomics capacity & research ties across South Africa. #Genomics #Collab @tiaorgza @UKZNCHS

Wrapping up our 4 day Illumina Library Prep & Sequencing Workshop! On Friday, participants finished the final steps of their lab work and loaded their samples onto the Illumina MiSeq. It’s been incredibly rewarding to watch their confidence grow! @diplomics_sa @tiaorgza @UKZNCHS

Day 1 of the Library Prep and Sequencing Workshop was a great success! Starting with an intro to Illumina technology, followed by an opportunity to observe key steps in the lab. Special thanks to our partners @diplomics_sa @tiaorgza @UKZNCHS #NGS #sequencing #capacitybuilding

Congrats to Dr. @Jenn_Giandhari on receiving a Certificate of Recognition at TIA’s Women Technology Innovation Program Launch on 26 March 2025! 👏💡 Big thanks to @tiaorgza for supporting women in tech! 🚀 @UKZNCHS @UKZN #DSTI #TIAWTIP #LMMS #UKZN #KRISP #womeninscience #ateam
