New beginnings

In 2014, Drosophila in Biomedical Research is mutating into

Building an African Biomedical Research Community using Drosophila

and it is still a workshop made in Uganda.

This blog will be changing in the next few days to accommodate the new information. Everything about the 2013 workshop can still be found on the Drosophila Africa site.

Our aspect might change but the core is still the same: bringing the affordable and powerful Drosophila to the scientific community of Africa to facilitate advances in basic and applied sciences leading to the improvement of human lives.

Now is the time for the new beginnings...
