My milestones:
This mass spec was the second priority equipment to be purchased for the WACCBIP core facility. After the BD Flow Cytometer was purchased first every effort I made for the Mass Spec was thwarted. This is why I need justice.

My milestones:
Over a period of 5 months we produced 55 prototypes and came up with the final logo of WACCBIP which is in use today.
For his efforts Patrick Edem Akatsi was given 1000GHS which he graciously donated to my laboratory.

My milestones:
The site visit by the Association of African Universities and World Bank team was in Oct 2013 to University of Ghana.
The final award was announced that month.
I initiated the design of the WACCBIP logo immediately with Patrick Edem Akatsi as the designer.
Genome sequencing workshop day 5:
Francis Francis Dzabeng explores data integrity, ethical compliance, and the critical role of data governance and management policies. He featured data management tools for consistency, and how to ensure top-notch data quality for analysis.
