The National Commission on Research, Science and Technology (NCRST) has announced the passing of Prof. Dr Martha Kandawa-Schulz, who served as the chairperson of commission's Biosafety Council since 2014.

"NCRST acknowledges her dedicated service and valuable contribution to biosafety and human capacity development in Namibia. We extend our sincere condolences to her family, friends and colleagues during this difficult time of bereavement. May her soul rest in eternal peace," NCSRT said on their social media platforms.


The commission's head of corporate communication, Liz Tashiya, confirmed to NMH that Kandawa-Schulz passed on while in Yerevan, Armenia, where she participated in the United Nations Biodiversity Conference (CBD COP17).


Kandawa-Schulz published 28 research papers on various topics including electrophoresis, DNA and molecular biology. She also previously served as the chairperson for the Namibia Standards Institution (NSI).
