As part of their collaboration, a group of researchers from the National Institute for Medical Research of Tanzania, the Technical University of Denmark and the University of Copenhagen embarked on an expedition to test a new low-cost, low-tech sequencing approach to analyzing microorganisms under real life conditions.
Days 10-13: Back to Moshi and home
Day 10: A long way to Moshi
A very long 10-hour drive to Moshi. But there were some good discussions in the car (see photo of Happy above on the way back to Moshi).
Day 11: Why not do another run?
Back in Moshi, we decided to do a bacterial run with 12 isolates, we were here anyway.
Day 12: Meetings and greetings
Final day before the flight. Meetings, analyses and a final talk over lunch in the cantina at Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Centre.
Day 13: Back in Denmark
As always, extremely good to be back, even though the weather is cold.
