This great activity was coordinated by Professor Falko Steinbach from the University of Surrey and myself. Its focus was controlling viral infections to increase food security for Egypt's poorest communities. The report generated from this workshop is shared elsewhere on my personal page.
These are our students enjoying success after figuring our the mystery virus they had to identify on their own. In this activity each one acted as if he is the lab manager. They had to plan to run the lab, order the supplied, design experimental protocols, and work together. They succeeded.
This is the first time a faculty of veterinary medicine houses these important pieces of equipment. We did it with the help of our partners from Harbin Veterinary Research Institute and Kinetic International Scientific of the People's Republic of China. Last semester our Special Virology "VIR 007" students got to feel what it means to work with them. This is truly a life-changing experience. We thank our friends and partners from China.
