Today, we rewind to one of the standout innovations from our August Summer Professional Course, the brilliant work of Group B (Bio-Food) on “Recombinant Bacteriocin Production for Natural Food Preservation.”
Tackling Nigeria’s major challenge of food spoilage, the team explored how bacteriocins, natural antimicrobials from friendly bacteria—can be genetically enhanced using recombinant DNA technology to provide safer, more powerful, and more sustainable food preservation solutions.
Their presentation highlighted how recombinant bacteriocins could
✨ Extend shelf life naturally
✨ Replace chemical preservatives
✨ Improve food safety
✨ Support Nigeria’s food industry with cost-effective biotechnology
A forward-thinking project that proves how young scientists can solve real national problems through innovation.
Proud of the creativity and scientific curiosity of our students!
Today, we celebrate Emmanuella Onyeyirichukwu Udeh, one of the shining stars of the 13th Convocation of Godfrey Okoye University!

Today, we join the entire Godfrey Okoye University community in celebrating excellence, perseverance, and the remarkable achievements of all who convocate.
As you cross this defining milestone, the DNA Learning Center Nigeria, Godfrey Okoye University, proudly salutes your dedication, resilience, and commitment to growth.
We warmly welcome families, friends, and well-wishers who have supported this journey, and we celebrate the brilliance that continues to shape the future of our great institution.
Congratulations to all our graduates, and to Godfrey Okoye University on the occasion of her 13th Convocation Ceremony. Your success is our collective pride.
Today we throw it back to one of the standout moments from our August Summer Professional Course, the brilliant presentation by Group A (Medical): Bio-Innovative Project Team 1.
Their project, “Regenerative Medicine: Harnessing Stem Cells for Stroke Recovery,” explored how cutting-edge science can transform one of the world’s leading causes of disability.
From breaking down the mechanisms behind stroke to unveiling how stem cells can replace damaged neurons, stimulate new blood vessels, reduce inflammation, and promote true brain repair, the team delivered a powerful blend of science, innovation, and hope.
They also highlighted real-world challenges, like ethical concerns, treatment timelines, and affordability, while recommending advanced approaches such as CRISPR gene editing, precision medicine, and combination therapies for more effective outcomes.
A big shoutout to the entire team for their outstanding work and for pushing the boundaries of biomedical thinking during the DNALC Nigeria Summer Program.
Here’s to nurturing young scientists and building Africa’s future in biotechnology! 🌍🧬

Today, as the world marks the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, we stand in solidarity with millions of women and girls whose voices deserve to be heard, protected, and empowered.
The numbers are heartbreaking: Nearly one in three women worldwide has faced physical or sexual violence, and every 10 minutes, a woman or girl loses her life at the hands of someone she should have been able to trust.
These are not just statistics, they are stories of silenced dreams, interrupted destinies, and untapped brilliance.
At DNA Learning Center Nigeria, we believe that one powerful way to fight back is by creating opportunities that amplify women’s voices, unlock their potential, and equip them to lead in fields where they are often underrepresented like science and genomics.
In partnership with the inspiring Tracy Uloma Okoro, we are building spaces where women rise, innovate, and rewrite the narrative. This commitment has fueled our flagship program:
Genomics Gateway 3.0: A New Dawn for Women in Science —---- This is more than a workshop. It is a movement. A launchpad. A breakthrough moment for young women determined to shape the future of genomics and biotechnology in Africa.
If you are a woman with a story, a dream, or a passion for science, this is your time and this gateway is your path forward.
Step into the lab. Step into your power.
At the Genomics Gateway Workshop 3.0, you will gain hands-on mastery in:
DNA Extraction
Precision Pipetting
PCR & Gel Electrophoresis
Bioinformatics & Data Analysis
You won’t just learn science, you will experience it, own it, and join a growing community of women leading bold discoveries across the continent.
Women belong in the lab. Women belong at the frontlines of discovery.
We’re here to ensure that nothing, no barrier, no bias, no circumstance dims that possibility.
Are you ready to take your story as a woman in science to the next level? Registration is still open, fully free, and waiting for you.
