Summary: A senior scientist from the Instituto Nacional de Saude (INS) de Mozambique spent two weeks at KRISP labs at UKZN to receive training generating whole genomes of SARS-CoV-2. Nalia Ismael from the Instituto Nacional de Saúde (INS) de Mozambique spends two weeks at KRISP labs at UKZN to receive training generating whole genomes of SARS-CoV-2. Training includes all of the processes from RNA extraction, amplification, sequencing, and analysis. This is a collaboration between KRISP/CERI with Africa CDC to expand training in Africa.
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).
