Other events...

In this lecture, Dr Joseph Ndunguru will outline his involvement with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the subsequent investment in his viral diagnostic projects. He will also outline the increasing biosciences capacity in sub Saharan Africa that is leading the transformational change to diagnose sick plants. Through this work, smallholder farmers are receiving virus free cassava plants, and therefore their yields are increasing, making them more food secure.
