Illumina Leadership | Dr. John Gatimu & Bridget Mogale: MiSeq i100 Series | From Vision to Impact

It’s been over a year since the launch of the Illumina MiSeq™ i100 Series — and what a journey it has been. Designed to make Next Generation Sequencing faster, simpler and more accessible, the MiSeq i100 Series has opened new possibilities for genomics across research, public health and clinical applications. Since its launch, we’ve had the opportunity to see this technology become part of a growing genomics ecosystem across Africa, turning the vision we shared at launch into real possibilities for researchers, laboratories, and public health programmes. In this interview, the Illumina team shares the vision behind the MiSeq i100 Series, what its arrival meant for genomics in Africa, and the possibilities it continues to unlock. A year on, the journey continues — and the vision is steadily becoming reality.
