#ThrowbackThursday | DNALC Nigeria Summer Professional Course


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!

#ThrowbackThursday | DNALC Nigeria Summer Professional Course 🔬✨



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! 🌍🧬
