The History of DNA Sequencing Technology
ARC Biotechnology Platform
In 2010, the ARC set out to create a new single integrated platform for advanced high
throughput, next generation technologies
Dr Jasper Rees
Vision
To create a world class biotechnology platform to lead research in agriculture in Africa
Mission• To provide excellent biotechnology research and service
platforms to enhance food security and promote agriculture in Africa
• To provide biotechnology tools in support of all areas of research and development within the mission of the ARC
• To create a world class research and innovation environment to attract the best researchers and students
• To train the next generation of specialist researchers in cutting edge biotechnologies
The Objectives
• To create Service, Development and Research structures in support of and in collaboration with all ARC Institutes and external partners
• To address the needs of commercial and emerging agriculture nationally and continentally
• To train new researchers and postgraduates at the highest level
• To compete at the top level internationally
• To have the “best in class” resources for modern biotechnology
• To raise funds external funding, nationally and internationally
