Ethiopian Institute of Agricultural Research

This project trains female scientists in molecular biology and genomics to help answer questions towards solving Ethiopian agricultural problems. Funds are used for a scientific exchange program between UC Davis and the Ethiopian Agricultural Research Center (EIAR) in Holeta, Ethiopia. Researchers from EIAR will carry out a research internship at UC Davis to learn genomics methodologies and bioinformatic analysis in practical experiments that will further research programs at EIAR and foster collaborations between our two institutions. This program was inspired by the life and work of Sharon Gray. To read more: https://www.ucdavis.edu/news/sharon-grays-mentorship-lives-on
