The Girls in Biotech project has been a success since its initiation. Expectations have been exceeded and the latest boot camp was a whole new experience altogether.

Here is a summary infographics for the SHS Virtual Training Program which came off for the previous cohort.

Last week, our ladies had a paper presentation. It was a fantastic sight to behold as it was observed in their confidence level and research skills. These were some topics they presented: Rapid detection of pesticides in milk, cereal, and cereal-based food and fruit juices using a paper strip-based sensor, Fluorescence and bioluminescence reporter functions in genetically modified bacteria sensor strains.

Our ladies are keen on applying synthetic biology and biotechnology within their communities and we cannot wait to see them make a significant impact.

Our ladies from the Girls in Biotech fellowship program continued with their biweekly paper presentation yesterday.

Over the past weeks, their self-assurance, research prowess, and presentation skills have improved.

And it was evident from their paper presentations that our Ladies are learning a great deal about the actual use of biosensors and genome editing.

Among the topics covered in their paper presentation include, the development of an engineered bacterial biosensor system for detecting lead and mercury, an electrochemical biosensor for detecting E. coli on fresh produce, and the use of genome editing to boost crop production.

They want to work on projects utilizing genome editing and biosensors to address fundamental issues in their society.

Our ladies received training last week on how to work with DNA and the bacterial Chassis System using medfRed/meffRFP reporter gene plasmid and the E. coli strain BL21DE3.

The session was to equip our ladies in skills such as competent cell preparation and transformation of plasmid DNA into E.coli.

The Session also outlines the basic protocols that complement synthetic biology techniques and also to help them identify, purify, and analyze genetic constructs or synthetic DNA.

Scientific presentation is a professional way of sharing your observations, introducing a hypothesis, demonstrating and interpreting the results of a particular study, and helping to advance knowledge and its application in a specific field you find yourself in.

These are images from our second bi-weekly paper presentation where our ladies undergoing mentorship had the opportunity to reconstruct and present their previous presentations based on feedback given.

This is to help them improve their presentation and research skills and get abreast of what scientific research is all about.

17/10/2022

We had a capacity-building session organized last week as part of holistically equipping ladies in our Girls in Biotech Fellowship Program. The young mentees were introduced to what entrepreneurship means, its benefits, and why one should develop an entrepreneurial mindset.

An entrepreneurial mindset can aid the development of confidence. A person with an entrepreneurial mindset is more inclined to take on opportunities and take risks for future benefits.

The goal of this capacity-building session was to fine-tune our ladies' understanding of innovation so they can have the capacity to solve issues in their environment and profit from it simultaneously.

DNA assembly is a Synthetic Biology enabling technology that enables the quick creation of newly designed DNA constructs by assembling multiple DNA fragments into one.

Yesterday, our ladies in the fellowship program had a virtual class on DNA assembly, focusing on the golden gate approach.

With the aid of this technique, gene circuits can be designed and characterized, helping scientists to modify and express the gene of interest.

11/10/2022

It is important to hone the skill of writing papers to demonstrate your ability to understand and reproduce what has been learned.

Mentees for the Girls in Biotech Fellowship Program were assigned to read scholarly papers concerning biotechnology
and synthetic biology techniques. Presentations were made on the documents they each studied yesterday.

Some feedback given included building on communication skills and developing better research abilities.
