Field work in Ethiopia

Shashanka was in Jimma, Ethiopia, working with field, medical, and scientific teams from Jimma University this November. The goal of his fieldwork was to collect and prepare malaria samples from patients for single-cell RNA sequencing. These samples will represent the first single-cell RNA sequencing samples collected in Ethiopia.

A bunch of us went to the Orioles game in September to say goodbye to Brice and Léa, who visited us for a month from our collaborator at the Institute Pasteur in Cambodia, to learn some Bioinformatics. It was a great time having you in the lab!
