The GIP Innovation Lab’s commitment to training and outreach, three graduate students from the University of Ghana and Sokoine University Agriculture, Princess Korkor Botchway, James Mushi, and Gaspar Chiwanga, were invited to participate in the 5th Meeting of the Avian Immunology Research Group (AIRG), which was held on September 2018 at the University of Oxford, England. This conference is the premier event for researchers, students, and poultry professionals involved in the poultry immunology and disease.

At the recent World Poultry Veterinarians Association conference in Edinburgh UK, graduate student Melissa Diest gave a podium talk on her USAID research on NDV, and co-PD Sue Lamont gave an invited Keynote talk on “Breeding for Disease Resistance” including examples from the USAID project research. Over 2,000 poultry health professionals from around the globe were in attendance.
