Dans le cadre des efforts visant \u00e0 obtenir un aper\u00e7u direct des installations qui soutiendront la formation pratique dans le cadre du projet BioCap \u00e0 venir, Dr Lawrence Kent de la Fondation Gates a visit\u00e9 IITA<\/a> Laboratoires de biotechnologie r\u00e9cemment. La visite a eu lieu avant le lancement officiel de BioCap au Rwanda. Elle visait \u00e0 familiariser le donateur avec l'environnement o\u00f9 se d\u00e9rouleront la formation par navette et les travaux pratiques d'\u00e9dition du g\u00e9nome pour les scientifiques rwandais.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le Dr Kent a \u00e9t\u00e9 conduit \u00e0 travers les laboratoires par Docteur Leena Tripathi<\/a> et l'\u00e9quipe Biotechnologie de l'IITA, qui a pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 le pipeline d'\u00e9dition g\u00e9n\u00e9tique des bananes, y compris l'infrastructure de laboratoire, les flux de travail de recherche, les syst\u00e8mes de bios\u00e9curit\u00e9 et les cadres de intendance qui guident la recherche conforme. Il s'est \u00e9galement entretenu avec<\/p>\n\n\n\n

R\u00e9fl\u00e9chissant \u00e0 la visite, le Dr Kent a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 : \u201cJe suis impressionn\u00e9 par l'expertise de l'\u00e9quipe de l'IITA et par la qualit\u00e9 du travail que les chercheurs de l'IITA accomplissent sur l'\u00e9dition du g\u00e9nome des plantes. Cette plateforme dotera les scientifiques rwandais des comp\u00e9tences et de l'environnement n\u00e9cessaires pour avoir un impact tangible en appliquant la technologie d'\u00e9dition du g\u00e9nome des plantes au d\u00e9veloppement de maladies-\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le Dr Tripathi a ajout\u00e9 : \u201c Ce fut un plaisir de faire visiter nos laboratoires au Dr Kent et de lui montrer comment nous int\u00e9grons le g\u00e9nome<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Soutenir BioCap et permettre aux scientifiques rwandais d'acqu\u00e9rir une expertise pratique en \u00e9dition du g\u00e9nome.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

L'engagement a assur\u00e9 que la plateforme d'\u00e9dition g\u00e9n\u00e9tique de l'IITA est bien positionn\u00e9e pour accueillir et soutenir les composantes pratiques du programme BioCap. En ancrant la formation dans un environnement de recherche contr\u00f4l\u00e9 et bien \u00e9tabli, la plateforme permettra aux scientifiques rwandais d'acqu\u00e9rir les comp\u00e9tences n\u00e9cessaires pour faire progresser le d\u00e9veloppement de bananes \u00e9dit\u00e9es g\u00e9n\u00e9tiquement et r\u00e9sistantes aux maladies, contribuant ainsi \u00e0 la capacit\u00e9 r\u00e9gionale \u00e0 long terme en biotechnologie agricole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
