Harry MPhil defence outside KNUST

Huge congratulations to Harry Akligoh on successfully defending his MPhil thesis on “Local Manufacturing of Enzymes For The Multiplex Diagnosis of Candidiasis and STIs”.

Harry has been a core member of the Open Bioeconomy Lab since 2019, establishing our Ghana node at Kumasi Hive and undertaking graduate research in the Department of Molecular Medicine at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology in Kumasi under the supervision of Dr Samuel Sakyi and with Dr Jenny Molloy acting as a remote co-supervisor.

He demonstrated the successful application of locally manufactured OpenVent from the Open Enzyme Collection in the detection of four sexually transmitted infections both using synthetic DNA targets and in some cases with clinical samples.

We wish Harry every luck in his next endeavour as a Research Associate with Yemaachi Biotech and we’re pleased that we will still see him around in our numerous shared communities, exploring open source technologies, synthetic biology and community labs among other ongoing topics of interest!
