Two researchers of CRREST Laboratory, Ms. Joemarie Lanutan and Mr. Kevin Labrador, underwent hands-on training on capillary sequencing conducted by the Philippine Genome Center Mindanao last 18 November 2022. The training introduced concepts and techniques that feed towards the DNA barcoding capabilities of CRREST. Services offered by PGC Mindanao and how these can be utilized by CRREST and its partners were also discussed.

The partnership between CRREST and PGC Mindanao was formalized through a Memorandum of Understanding through the FishDive Project of the DOST-funded ABRAHAM Program. Linked by common scientific interests to improve the state of omics research in Mindanao, both parties aim to cooperate and exchange ideas on the application of omics to study the marine biodiversity of the region.

MATI CITY - The Applied Biodiversity Research for Holistic Advancements in Mindanao (ABRAHAM) Program staff visited the Davao Oriental State University (DOrSU) on February 22, 2022. ABRAHAM Project 2: MABIDA, or Marine Biodiversity Database, aims to collaborate with DOrSU to create a comprehensive database on Philippine reef fishes, specifically for the regions under the Celebes Sea and part of the Sulu Sea. DOrSU and other higher education institutions (HEIs) will participate in populating marine data into the database. Dr. Cleto L. Nañola, Jr., ABRAHAM Program Head and Project Leader, and Mr. Leo Manuel B. Estaña, Project Leader, spearheaded the meeting with the DOrSU President, Dr. Roy G. Ponce, together with the faculty and staff from the Information Technology department and Marine Biology department.
