Authors: Prevashinee Padayachee and Tulio de Oliveira - 2014-04-05
Summary: This short video diary is the second in a series of movies that will trace the transformation of our existing laboratory into a world class DNA genomic facility. The second video provides an introduction to the robotics system and present our new bioinformatics facility. The genomics facility is based at the College of Health Sciences, University of KwaZulu-Natal and funded by the Wellcome Trust Africa Centre, South Africa MRC, UKZN, NRF and BMGF. This will be one of the first facilities in the African continent that focuses on research on diseases that affect human health.
KRISP has been created by the coordinated effort of the University of KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN), the Technology Innovation Agency (TIA) and the South African Medical Research Countil (SAMRC).
