RECOMMENDATION LETTER
7 September 2019
Greetings!
I am writing in enthusiastic support for Dr. Diwata Gonzales and Dr. Karen de Dios to attend the Nanopore
Introduction Workshop and Data Analysis Workshop on 7-8 November 2019 at New York, USA.
Nanopore sequencing is a third generation approach of genetic sequencing, which has the potential to offer
relatively low-cost genotyping, high mobility for testing and rapid processing of samples with the ability to
display results in real-time at a fraction of the cost as compared to current genetic sequencing technologies
available in the Philippines. With their current needs for more robust, rapid and accurate diagnostic tools,
these workshops with Oxford Nanopore specialists will provide them an opportunity to learn the essentials
of this emerging cutting-edge technology, which will be beneficial in the performance of their duties and
in the upgrading of the capabilities of the Poultrymax Diagnostic Laboratory to include in-house genetic
sequencing services. For more information on the recommended trainings, you may visit Nanopore at

have any inquiries.
Respectfully,
