@GCRF_START is a joint UK-Africa project which aims to develop synchrotron research in Africa, funded by STFC through GCRF 🌍

African researchers have the opportunity to work on experiments @DiamondLightSou, researching energy materials and structural biology. Image
Structural biology has given us an unprecedented insight into the mechanisms behind diseases like #COVID19.

The partnerships @GCRF_START builds between structural biologists in Africa and the UK through #synchrotron science could be vital in any future disease outbreaks🀝 Image
How can collaboration help us advance global research into energy materials?πŸ”‹
