Under   a   NEPAD   initiative,   the   Biosciences   Eastern   and   Central   Africa   (BECA)  (www.biosciencesafrica.org) was established at ILRI. BECA consists of a hub, regional nodes, and  other affiliated laboratories and partner institutes. A state of the art joint Bioinformatics Platform  (www.becabioinfo.org), whose overall goal is to provide a coherent and powerful bioinformatics  infrastructure for use by all scientists in East and central Africa. The Platform goal requires both  physical and intellectual developments that together provide researchers with access to diverse  infrastructure in a wide­area network, thereby addressing four important aspects of bioinformatics: 

1) Science: bioinformatics tools for data integration and visualization, standardization of data  formats and data analysis strategies, and distribution of analysis tasks over local­ and widearea networks are in development; 

2)  Bioinformatics Support Facility: provides assistance and custom programming to projects  and those unable to establish a bioinformatics support function intrinsic to their project due  to shortage of qualified personnel or lack of funding; 

3) Hardware Platform: provide a powerful high performance computing platform capable of  handling the largest analysis needs for projects; 

4) Bioinformatics Training for East and central African scientists: While many Web­based  tools are available to the wet­lab researcher, the Web is not well suited for tasks beyond  single­sequence annotation. Researchers need to become productive in a server­based Unix  environment with its wealth of scripting and automation tools. Even at an entry­level, this  can be an intimidating task if proper guidance is not available.

International Centre of Insect Physiology and Ecology (ICIPE): ICIPE’s research focus is on insect biology, in order to improve the wellbeing of the peoples of the  tropics through insect science. There is a commitment to utilise contemporary science in order to  limit the impact of disease vectors, and agricultural pests. The understanding of the mechanisms  associated with behaviour (e.g. attraction and repellency) is crucial. ICIPE seeks to enhance its  bioinformatics capacity in order to support data from various EST projects designed to gain insights  into the insect ecology and plant pathogen interactions though studies of metabolic pathways  associated with production of all elochemicals. 

Long­term training activities:

Kenyatta University: An introductory course in Bioinformatics is offers to MSc Biotechnology  students. This comprises of 35 hours of lectures and practicals.

University of Nairobi: A centre for Biotechnology and Bioinformatics (CEBIB), which will offer  postgraduate training (diplomas, MSc and PhD) in areas of biotechnology and bioinformatics has  recently been launched. Other universities in Kenya, including Egerton, Maseno and the Jomo Kenyatta University of  Agriculture and Technology offer introductory courses to undergraduates in biomedical sciences. In addition, under the BECA platform MSc and PhD fellowships are being made available for  Bioinformatics students. ILRI is forging links with Universities in South Africa and the United  Kingdom to provide access to courses and training material. 

Research Interest and Activities:

The following are the present areas of research interest: 1. EST clustering 2. Genome sequencing and annotation 3. Functional genomics and proteomics (including key tropical pathogens) 4. Structural bioinformatics 5. Development of Bioinformatics Data Management Systems 6. Gene Mining 7. High Throughput Genotyping 8. Microarray data management and analysis 9. Metagenomics 10. Immunoinformatics 11. Host­pathogen interaction 12. High performance computing and grid development 13. Parasite transfection technologies 14. Cell cycle regulation 15. Population genetics 16. Vector genomics 17. Drug, vaccine and diagnostic target discovery
