KRISP partner with Thermo Fisher Scientific on an educational program in Africa. As part of this program we organized 5 training workshops on STEM subjects in 2018 and 2019, ranging from PCR, qPCR, DNA sequencing and bioinformatics techniques.

The workshops ranged from RNA/DNA isolation, PCR and Sanger DNA Sequencing techniques. We are planning another 6 workshops in 2019. In total 128 students participate in this round of training.
