We are pleased to share the successful Bachelor of Science thesis defense of our dear colleague Jafeth Carrasco, entitled “Construction of a Bacterial Biosensor for the Detection of Cyanide Based on the Expression of the Fluorescent Protein E2-Crimson”. Jafeth financed his project with a grant for New Researchers from the National Secretariat of Science, Technology and Innovation (SENACYT).
Doriana has the opportunity of learning about the biotechnology production of biosimilars with the latest techniques used for pharmaceutical production. The fellowship was awarded by the Italo-Latin America institute in association with the ICGEB.
The Italo-Latin America Institute (IILA) and the International Centre of Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (ICGEB) in Italy, partnered with both The System for Integration (SICA)- and the Educational and Cultural Coordination (CECC) of Central American Countries to bring a model scientist to the classroom of Dominican Republic school girls. This was part of the coordinated efforts carried out to entice little girls to follow careers in STEM. Carmenza Spadafora was the Motivational Speaker chosen for this Forum named “Women in Science”
