Our PhD Student Emmanuel set up his first sequencing targeting colistin resistant E. coli strains from water. @nanopore rapid barcoding. The greens are encouraging. His supervisor @KwabenaDuedu will definitely love this.

[Professor Kwabena Duedu PhD, CBiol, FRSB @KwabenaDuedu]

Great team at @TractilisBio providing opportunities to overcome the bottlenecks to one of the many faces of academic freedom - i.e. access to laboratory facilities to carryout research. A modest but critical contribution to science in Africa @gyamjones @MissSemabia

[Tractilis BioLabs @TractilisBio]

It's a festive season but grad student Emmanuel is poised to complete his lab work in our labs and keeps working. He's investigating colistin resistance in water and supervised by @KwabenaDuedu in @TractilisBio
