Two GFL entries to the 24th National Research Symposium (NRS) have been awarded as qualifiers for AFMA R&D papers. The papers were submitted to the Applied Research for Technology/Information Generation in Fisheries category with titles, “Understanding Juvenile Fisheries in the Philippines using DNA Barcodes: The “Padas” and “Ipon” of Northern Luzon” by Mudjekeewis D. Santos, Angelli Marie Jacynth M. Asis, Altair B. Agmata, and Billy Joel Catacutan, and “Maternal Mismatches in Some Farmed Tilapia Strains (Oreochromis spp.) in the Philippines as Revealed by Mitochondrial CO1 Gene” by Mudjekeewis D. Santos and June Feliciano F. Ordoñez. The NRS is held every year by the Department of Agriculture- Bureau of Agricultural Research (DA-BAR) to gather together top scientists and researchers from different colleges, universities and leading research institutions to present their most promising researches made in the year. The 24th NRS, which has a theme of “Responsive R&D Excellence towards Food Security and Growth in Agriculture and Fisheries,” was held last October 17-18, 2012 at the RDMIC building, Diliman, Quezon City.

GFL member Benedict left for Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology Shinagawa Campus to pursue his PhD in Applied Marine Biosciences. He was one of the lucky applicants to be accepted as a MEXT (Japanese Government) Scholar to pursue graduate studies in Japan for 3 years. He arrived at the Genome Science Laboratory on Oct 3, 2012 where he met his professor and advisers, Dr. Hidehiro Kondo and Dr. Ikuo Hirono, former teacher and adviser of our dear Doc Mudjie Santos. He will be studying more in shrimp immunity mechanisms that will be of future application in Philippine shrimp farming.
Best of luck for our colleague as he embarks on another chapter of his learning career. Gambatte Kudasai Bidek-san! |
