Development of the future of biophysics in Africa
- Lawrence Norris (National Society of Black Physicists)
The START programme (Synchrotron Techniques for African Research and Technology) funded by the UK Science and Technology Facilities Council through the Global Challenges Research Fund has significantly stimulated African work in Structural Biology, Energy Materials and Catalysis over the last three years.
The Structural biology component funded post-docs, workshops, travel, data collection...
My objective is to share approaches by which I incorporate structural biology into our biochemistry curriculum at Hampton University. I will also discuss methods to engage K-12 and undergraduate students in crystallographic research and structural biology (since 2001). I will show the successes and failures involved in the process of fully integrating these pre-baccalaureate students in...
The African Light Source has become an urgent continental priority as a priority. This large scale science research infrastructure is the leading example of a resource hosting multi/inter/trans- disciplinary research activities. These include the medical sciences, cultural heritage sciences, geosciences, environmental sciences, energy sciences, nano-sciences, materials sciences and mineral...
