Also if anybody wants to take on the culture chapter (so I don't need to, you are welcome). #Mycobacteria #MycobacteriaProtocols #TB #TBResearch🦠🧪
Work on the new edition of the Mycobacteria Protocols is well underway. We have a couple of spaces, so if you are interested and have a new method you think would be a no brainer to include, drop us a line.. #Mycobacteria #MycobacteriaProtocols #TB #TBResearch🦠🧪
How do we keep our data organised and transparent to the team and our collaborators? Check our our case study with CDD 🧪🦠
