Increasing the success potential of promising biotech companies
Biotech startups benefit society by solving unmet scientific and medical needs, but more can be
done to move their technologies to market more quickly. We propose a novel equity-free Post-I-Corps Program modeled on academic and private sector accelerators, dedicated exclusively to I-Corps graduates.
Improving Structural Variation Detection Accuracy in Repetitive Regions Using Hybrid Algorithms and SFS Signatures
SVDSS combines ideas from traditional mapping-based and assembly-based SV detection algorithms with the novel mapping-free Substring-free Sample-specific Strings (SFS) framework to achieve a 15% recall improvement over state-of-the-art methods in detecting SVs in repetitive regions of the genome.
Behind the paper
The real stories behind the latest research papers, from conception to publication, the highs and the lows.
Coronaviruses: Past, Present and Future
Research, thoughts, and experience related to the coronavirus family.
CoViD-19 and China, the story could repeat itself!
Following the draconian measures already put in place throughout the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, a very relaxed approach has been recently adopted by Chinese health authorities in order to stop the people's angry protests against the "zero Covid" strategy.

Don't miss our Research Data webinar with Figshare: driving open science through data sharing
The need for research data to be made available is being increasingly recognised, for example in policy announcements by NIH and WHOSTP. Join us for a conversation on the development of Springer Nature's data policies, practical initiatives and implications for Open Research publishing.
On the Road
Updates from conferences, field work, lab visits, and vacations around the world.

Two courses, PCR Bootcamp and the Nature Masterclasses online course on Managing Research Data to Unlock its Full Potential, that advanced my career and research on mosquito control blankets
In 2020, I was registered for PhD in Biomedical Sciences at the Kilimanjaro Christian Medical University College, Tanzania. Although I was lucky to secure fees from my employer, PAMVERC, I still required additional funds that would facilitate me to attend necessary trainings and conferences.
