Ghana Cochran: Agricultural Biotechnology Training/Workshop

Cisneros, Juan (Jose) Jose

Collaborator(s):
Adrienne LaBranche Tucker
Description:

The 2-week training program provided the Ghanian Fellows an opportunity to investigate what a country with GMO's would look like.  Through this, the Fellows met with a wide-assortment of faculty and professionals including NC State's Office of Technology Commercialization and New Ventures, numerous research faculty, Golden LEAF Biomanufacturing Training and Education Center, RTP biotech companies, and farmers.  After this program, the Fellows will have the tools to have educated discussions about GMOs in Ghana.
The delegation also braved Hurricane Matthew as it came through North Carolina on their final days.
