GCRF_START

GCRF-START is a project to enable the collaboration and knowledge exchange between African and British scientists using synchrotron techniques.

Great to see our colleagues from the @AfSynchrotron presenting at #AAASmtg about the impact having their own facility can address challenges in their region! #StrongerTogether #ScienceforHumanity

[lightsources.org @lightsources]

Sekazi K. Mtingwa @AfSynchrotron @LAAAMP_Project explaining that #Africa & other regions in the South will benefit hugely from having their own facilities so they can address problems specific to the region. Economically & socially they bring big benefits too #ScienceForHumanity

Our colleagues @ExPaNDs_EU are sharing their findings and achievements as the grant comes to an end. It’s all about FAIR and open #data - register to learn more and take part in the no doubt interesting conversations!

Well done @lizelle_ll and all involved! A great achievement! You can read the EMBO Journal paper here: https://t.co/rgcttQHND6

[Lizelle Lubbe @lizelle_ll]

I am very excited to share my first cryo-EM paper published in @embojournal today! We describe the first full-length structures of the highly dynamic angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) solved by #singleparticle #CryoEM. This is key for #hypertension #drugdiscovery (a 🧵)

[Diamond Light Source @DiamondLightSou]

Wonderful to see the love for #SynchrotronScience around the world! Great work from all our friends and collaborators at @lightsources and the speakers who shared a phenomenol history of #WorldChangingScience 💫

[Diamond Light Source @DiamondLightSou]

We enjoyed giving our colleagues from @beisgovuk a tour of Diamond today as part of a showcase of the fantastic research facilities at the @RutherfordApLab during @ScienceWeekUK. Thanks to @STFC for setting up the visit to the many @UKRI_News facilities on site!

“START has been an exciting journey catalysed by the GCRF grant which has reaped fantastic results in a remarkably short space of time,” said PI & Science Group Leader Prof. Chris Nicklin @DiamondLightSou

[GCRF_START @GCRF_START]

Resulted in 80+ researchers now collaborating from multiple continents > over 50 papers published and dozens still in the pipeline! You can find our publications here: https://t.co/hsECJHdi8a

[GCRF_START @GCRF_START]

Dr Jason Green gave a great overview from the Funders @STFC_Matters and the incredible importance of nurturing the wonder of science!

[GCRF_START @GCRF_START]

Dr Gwyndaf Evans shared with us the key messages and importance of @DiamondLightSou collaboration for #StructuralBiology as part of the GCRF START grant #Sciences

[GCRF_START @GCRF_START]

“Over the past two years, being involved in the GCRF START grant has allowed me to mature and to become much more independent as a scientist” says Dr Carmien Tolmie, with a focus on Structural Biology. Read Carmien’s story here > https://t.co/Pvm7QjYlnv

[GCRF_START @GCRF_START]

Dr Sofia Diaz-Moreno is sharing the insights and importance of @DiamondLightSou #collaboration #Science and how Diamond has been a catalyst for the grant.

[GCRF_START @GCRF_START]

Dr Mohamed Fadlalla’s story demonstrates how scientific & scientist career development can work symbiotically, assisted by the GCRF START grant. #careergoals #STEM '
