DIPLOMICS has partnered with us and provided funding in order for us to expand our capabilities and our ability to reach out to the community around us and to transfer those skills and to enable researchers to do genomics research where they perhaps couldn't have done so prior.

Instrument Scientist at SAIAB

We reach more people that's actually EAGR to join the genomics and genetics research field, reaching more people and just providing other scientists or students with more options to do more comprehensive research or multidisciplinary research where previously they were not able to, increasing the chances of collaboration and bringing people over to the genetics research in South Africa.
