BRF is pleased to announce the first two awards for our Laboratory Supplies Grant Program to Dr. Rodolfo Casero of Argentina’s National University of Cordoba (Universidad Nacional de Córdoba) and Dr. Eric Viscogliosi of the Pasteur Institute (Institut Pasteur). About the program: Researching Blastocystis infection requires many things – skilled and motivated researchers, access to Blastocystis patients or cultures, specialized equipment and supplies. In many cases, laboratories have all of the required items, but purchasing disposable supplies can be an obstacle. Researchers interested in pursuing Blastocystis studies can apply to BRF to have part or all of the cost of their supplies covered by BRF. BRF, at its option, may either reimburse researchers for supplies, or pay suppliers directly to ship supplies to their lab.
