Meet our Previous Genomics & Bioinformatics Fellows


The fellows have come from 42 different countries in the global south. We are privileged to provide the opportunity for knowledge transfer to scientists from all walks of life and to allow them to come together and share their experiences with others and to learn how to become world leaders in genomic surveillance.

CERI and KRISP have supported 283 fellows for both short-term (2 weeks) and long-term fellowships (3 months to 2 years) across a variety of specialties.

In April 2023, we will be hosting another 37 fellows from 18 different countries who will attend a 2-week workshop at our Tygerberg facility at Stellenbosch University.
