Leading a team of over 10 African scientists, last year we published a paper in the European Journal of Neuroscience in which we showed that over the last 20 years, only 8% of researches conducted by Nigerian neuroscientists used many key "advanced" methods that are readily available to researchers outside Africa, such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR), fluorescence or electron microscopy, among others.
Ukuhola iqembu lososayensi base-Afrika abangaphezu kwe-10, ngonyaka owedlule thina kushicilelwe iphepha ku-European Journal of Neuroscience lapho sakhombisa khona ukuthi eminyakeni engama-20 eyedlule, bangama-8% kuphela abacwaningi abaqhutshwa ngabezokwelapha baseNigeria abasebenzise izindlela eziningi eziphambili "eziphambili" ezitholakala kalula kubacwaningi ngaphandle kwase-Afrika, njenge-polymerase chain reaction (PCR), i-fluorescence noma i-electron microscopy, phakathi kwabanye.
