🌍 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🌱🌾

[Beneficial.Bio @BeneficialBio]

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!

[Beneficial.Bio @BeneficialBio]

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!

[Beneficial.Bio @BeneficialBio]

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. 🥼🧬
