IUBMB Tatenda Murigo Scholarship Awardee

Congratulations to our IUBMB Scholar of 2024

“It is truly an incredible honour to be the selected recipient of the inaugural IUBMB Tatenda Murigo Distinguished Scholarship. This funding will go a long way assisting me in the completion of my Honours project and I believe it will also be a huge kick start to my career in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology.

I knew Tatenda Murigo personally and through her desire for outreach and undeniable passion for Biochemistry, she introduced me to BMBSZ and all the numerous opportunities that Biochemistry has for young students which I had not known existed. I am humbled to even be considered to walk in the footsteps of such a great and inspiring young lady. I am extremely thrilled and honoured to be joining the prestigious IUBMB Trainee Initiative as a representative for FASBMB. I would like to continue raising the awareness of the immense opportunities that lie in pursing Biochemistry and Molecular Biology for students starting locally in Zimbabwe and throughout Africa and be able to avail them to others just like Tatenda did to me and to many of the lives she impacted throughout her life.

Thank you once again.”
