The purpose of the meeting was to seek collaboration with the Ministry for the Federation of American Societies of Experimental Biology (FASEB) Conference scheduled for 27th August – 1st September 2023 in Accra.
A leader of the delegation, Dr Akwasi Agbleke said, the goal of the collaboration with the MOTAC was to promote Ghana as a destination for scientific meetings and workshops as well as support the beyond-the-return agenda by providing tourism to researchers visiting the country.
He added that the conference would attract high-profile geneticists both within and outside the continent, representatives from the African Union and African Academy of Sciences.

On his part, Mr John Yao Agbeko, Chief Director welcomed the team and thanked them for the decision to collaborate.
