Dilyara Gritsenko, PhD, Associate Professor and Head of the Laboratory of Molecular Biology at the Institute of Plant Biology and Biotechnology took part in the Oxford Nanopore WYMM MEAI Summit 2025, held on 13–14 October 2025 in Nairobi, Kenya.
The summit brought together leading researchers from the Middle East, Africa, and India within the framework of the global “One Health” initiative, aimed at integrating genomic research in humans, animals, and plants to strengthen food and biological security.
During the event, Dilyara Gritsenko delivered a presentation entitled
“Advances in sequencing plant viral genomes”, which highlighted modern approaches to the use of Oxford Nanopore Technologies for analyzing plant viral pathogens, monitoring their evolution, and studying the genetic diversity of phytopathogens.
Her talk attracted strong interest from the international scientific community and emphasized the contribution of Kazakhstani researchers to the development of agrogenomics, virology, and bioinformatics.
