My gratitude and thanks to my colleagues and friends at the University of Antananarivo (@Madagascar) for today's conference on ADNe....the beginning of a very good collaboration in the application of @eDNA for @biodiversity,@conservation.

In 2023 I led negotiations involving 9 corporations & 24 African institutions that trained 408 African scientists in genomics & bioinformatics. That effort, with >100 African authors, is now published in @NatureGenet. Thanks to all contributors:  https://t.co/96Cztf9RPB

In this rainy weather ☔️, getting in and out of the FAHE site was really difficult but we were able to take the eDNA sample. Thank @alpineedna @OuattaraKoffiN1

The BUYO sampling was really difficult due to access to the lake and eDNA sampling but the members of my strong and experienced team, in the end they emerged victorious as usual. thanks @OuattaraKoffiN1 @nguekouame (N'GUESSAN KOUAMÉ Emmanuel @blackboy (HONGO Koffi Anderson).

Very proud and honored to have @OWONicolasRola1 (#sampling and #conservation); @nguekouame (#minION #sequencing); Anderson Koffi (#bioinformatic) as part of the #LeDNA project. Well trained for the next @rewild and @ICFC_for_Nature development of suitcase ADNe Lab in progress.

C'est un énorme privilège que d'avoir été associé au projet de caractérisation de la #biodiversité #aquatique. J'en remercie le Professeur @OuattaraKoffiN1 et le doctorant @OWONicolasRola1.

Land sampling on our body of water was difficult, we had to take a canoe. In the end, everything went well and it was a great experience. Thank you very much @OuattaraKoffiN1 @nguekouame Hongo Koffi Anderson. Above all, a huge thank you to the LeDNA project and @alpineedna

Deadlines are approaching for nominations or applications to TWAS awards, exchanges, and fellowships! Want to learn about our programmes to bolster scientific strength in the global South? Find our open calls here: https://t.co/4H9vMiNd4K

A great honor to bring together researchers (Nangui Abrogoua University, @CNRS, Pasteur Institute) and clinical physicians (pneumo-phthisiology centre, National Public Health Institute), NGOs (Alliance ci) and Maters students for a wonderful conference on @tuberculosis. Thanks

Upcoming event - February 15, 2024: The scientific community's contribution to the fight against @antimicrobial resistance and the development of new treatments for @Mycobacterium Tuberculosis, - May 2024 : Theoretical and practical event on genomics and gene prediction at UNA.

SAVE THE DATE! Join us for the 9th iBOL conference in #Belém, Pará, #Brazil September 3-6, 2024. Stay tuned for conference updates by visiting: https://t.co/ttmddYfRfX #DNAbarcode #biodiversity #science

Environmental-DNA (eDNA), a biomonitoring tool to support biodiversity conservation in the Urban Banco National Park (Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire) at GEOBON 2023 in the session : Unlocking eDNA as a Biodiversity Monitoring and Conservation Tool in Tropical Landscapes

“Setting up a suitcase eDNA Laboratory/Lab in backpack for barcoding : MinION sequencing”. Wonderful week sharing my experience with WAMBA NET (West African Marine Fish DNA Barcoding Network) participants from Cameroon; CI ; Ghana ; Mauritania ; Nigeria ; Sénégal and France.

It's finally out!

#eDNA Training, from field to Lab with colleagues from the Ivory Coast, Benin and Senegal. Now ready to apply #barcoding, #metabarcoding, and #metagenomic for #conservation and #Biotechnology.

The #ABPHM23 today with exceptional presentations (#AMR, #wgMLST, #Pangenomic, #genomics. Posters presented in 1 minute really great

The annual VALIDATE meeting was more than a meeting of scientists. Thanks to Allan for this nice hedshot. In less than 2 min I presented my project to support the diagnosis of mycobacterium-related diseases from a portable molecular biology laboratory. Thanks to @NetworkValidate

Had an amazing 3 days at this years VALIDATE annual meeting with new and familiar faces. Also a great opportunity to present my research project funded by @NetworkValidate and @gatesfoundation #vaccine #tuberculosis @trieuphu10 @DrSupram @Ana_MaLAria

My Lab in Backpack for metagenomic studies is now ready! Just trying to complete this with @nanopore shotgun pack and I'm happy 😊. Many thank to @eDNAcollab , @NatureMetrics and @CommunityCEPF. The best is yet to come😊

So happy ☺️! I received an exceptional gift from @eDNAcollab to start my studies on Microbiome and microplastics in Freshwater and marine Waters. Many thanks for this opportunity.
