8th SAMRC Scientific Merit Awards - Prof Tulio de Oliveira - Gold Award
Authors: Tulio de Oliveira - 2022-04-01
Summary:
An attempt in 2022 to describe Professor Tulio de Oliveira in one sentence would probably read something like “the man who facilitated the identification of the SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern – Beta and Omicron in South Africa."
But for a world-renowned bioinformatics scientist, with over 20 years' experience working and conducting clinic-based and population-based research, the description does not even begin to scratch the surface to capture his journey.
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).
