In April, we will commence a series of festivities and activities in the lead-up to the inauguration of the BMRI and CERI new state-of-the-art laboratories. This building is dedicated to understanding the genetic and bio-molecular basis of disease with a decidedly African focus

It’s been a decade since we started planning the construction of Stellenbosch University’s Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences Biomedical Research Institute (BMRI), and we are now at a stage where the project is successfully completed, despite significant obstacles including the Covid-19 pandemic

As a valued member of CERI’s and KRISP scientific community, I’d like to extend an invitation to each and every one of you to participate in and share your views on all the exciting activities we have planned for the inauguration of the BMRI under the theme 'Improving lives with breakthrough science'./p>
