Seeking Norwegian collaborator

We are applying for NORHED II grants and we wish to actualize the Eastern Africa phage research consortium aimed at establishing/upgrading a lab for in-depth characterization of phages, establishing a phage bank, and developing regional policies for phage applications. I am spearheading a proposal on phages against zoonotic pathogens from animal production systems.

We plan to have Makerere University as the lead applicant for the Southern partners with others including someone from Ethiopia, Tanzania and Institute of primate research in Kenya. We must have a Norwegian collaborator. Establishing linkages with biological product companies for production at commercial scale is also important.

Please contact JLNakavuma@covab.mak.ac.ug if you are interested.
